Thank you both for the recommendations. I think I found someone already, but I'll keep both these in mind in case my current contact doesn't work out. :) 

Hello I need a referral for an attorney who handles Ejectments in Bessemer, Al (Jefferson County.) I've called two that were referred to me and they handle evictions but not ejectments. 

Thanks John, it definitely helps to get feedback from other people. I'll make a note. I hope we don't need her either, but I found out the hard way that it's good to have people already "vetted" BEFORE you need them. Thanks again. 

Thanks again! I so appreciate the recommendations!

@Denise Evans Thank you so much! That was a perfect explanation! I appreciate that so much. Do you do evictions? If so, would you send me an email with the cost for that? It's in my profile and won't let me post that email address here. We do hope to do more of these going forward and I will probably need an attorney to handle the evictions for us at some point. 

My partner has purchased a property in Bessemer, Alabama that was foreclosed on. The bank foreclosed on the property with a balance of roughly $15,000. The property was then sold at a loss to someone else who then sold the property to my partner. My partner paid roughly $10,000 for the property. This is my question. IF the person were to redeem the property during their right of redemption period, who would they pay and what amount? I've asked an attorney who says that the bank would be paid their $15,000 and my partner would NOT be paid his $10,000. I understand there would be interest, fees and improvements to be reimbursed, but the purchase price my partner paid would not be reimbursed? This doesn't seem right to me, but I'm not an attorney so maybe I'm just not understanding the law. I've read the law and am not able to interpret it clearly, so I'm giving the scenario in hopes for a clearer answer/explanation. 

@ Curtis Rouse and @Patrick Sweeting Would the same rules apply to finding the owner of a trust as for an estate? 

@ Curtis Rouse Thank you so much. I have two properties that I have contacted the registered agent via the means you have addressed. These properties are in a great state of disrepair and losing value. I feel if I could contact the owner directly, I could make more progress since the registered agent is not responding and probably not forwarding my contacts to the owner. 

@Patrick Sweeting Thank you so much!! You are an angel! I really appreciate your help. This is EXACTLY what I needed to know. Since you seem to be educated in this area, let me ask you a totally different question. Do you know how to find out who the owner, NOT the registered agent of an LLC is, in Georgia? People frequently get their attorney or a friend to be the registered agent of their LLC here. Also, everybody else, please vote Patrick up for this great answer. :)

I've found a property when driving for dollars that is owned by an estate. In my initial research, I can not find any children of the deceased owners. How can I find the owner's of the estate to contact them about buying their vacant distressed property?
