I recently bought a piece of property in my hometown.  Prior to closing, there was some issue clearing the title.  Not sure what exactly the issue was, but I do know the seller was one of those Quiet Claim deed companies.

I closed in July.  Still have no deed in hand (I paid cash).  

My agent reached out to the attorney's office and now I have this email from them:

"We received the recorded deed back from the court, but upon receipt and review for issuance of the owner's title policy, noted the legal description did not contain enough identifying information.  Accordingly, we prepared and send to the seller a corrective LWD.  We felt this necessary in order not to place a cloud on the title from this point forward.  As soon as the executed deed is returned, we will forward to the court for recording.  Upon receipt of the corrective deed, we will forward along with the owner's title policy."

Can anyone translate that for me?  Is it literally that the LWD could have been missing one tiny piece of information?

Thanks, Thomas.  I agree that having my uncle evict the guy is much easier than me doing it.  For sure.

And I consider myself fairly "creative" so I'm picking up what you're putting down.  

So this is a long story... but I wanted to ask people's experience, if anyone has some.

The VERY condensed version is that I am potentially going to purchase a house/property from my uncle.  He owns a house that has a "tenant" -- however, this tenant has NOT paid rent or utilities in 18 years (don't ask -- I don't know why my uncle allowed this to go on).  At this point in my uncle's life, with a VERY ill wife, etc, he does not want to own the property anymore and has offered to finance it for me so I can renovate or build a new house to sell.  

However, I would have to evict the current tenant.  Has anyone ever bought a property with a tenant who needed to be evicted?  

(Just to be clear, he will not and cannot do the eviction himself.)
