@Lee Macky They type of deed has nothing to do with weather you have good title. The type of deed only describes the sellers responsibility and guarantees to you if there is a title problem. That is why you get title insurance to back you up if there is a problem

So, I purchased a tax sale property.  Received a special warranty deed.  Treasurer and recorder say I have a clear title.  Now, 2.5 years later I'm trying to sell and the buyers attorney is saying I don't have a clear title.  My now attorney is just along for the pay.....no help. A 120 affidavit was not filed . No one except for realtors are aware of this affidavit

update, worked with title company today to find out just exactly how this will go. As I thought, 

get the purchase agreement that includes a special stipulation saying we'll pay the unpaid taxes.

submit to title company and perform search

fund escrow account

title co will distribute funds at closing.

shooting for a two week turn around or less.
