Check probate and follow chain of title.  Quit claim person should be owner. File ejectment for possession... against QC person.

I will follow the county attorney’s lead on this and use their stated resolution until further directed. 

I have enough tax sale properties in my portfolio to hold off until further decisions are made. 

Not trying to inject further fear in investors at least in Mobile Cty.

My bad on the delay... didn’t get the notice but you can write your own quit-claim deed... if this is the intended question.

FYI: 
We [Mobile County] are aware of the Equivest ruling and will continue to monitor. In 2006 Mobile County passed the attached resolution that designated 3925 Michael Blvd., Suite G, as a courthouse annex and subsequent tax sales have been held at this location. We feel confident that these sales are valid. Also, this past year the Mobile County Revenue Commission switched from a traditional sale to a tax lien sale. This type of sale only requires a public auction and doesn’t require that the sale be held on the courthouse steps. I hope this helps.

I’m certain there’s an extensive post by Denise Evans that answers this question. Pls search her posts.

The preservation improvement amounts are based on ‘increased value’ only; hence a cap in terms of money spent will not apply. 
10k spent to fix a roof and increased value = 5k. 
your payout is 5k. 
However for improvements to prevent weed liens by cutting the grass can be argued as ‘money Spent’ and no cap in this scenario... just rational sense. i,e $5k to cut the grass on a 40’x110’ lot (w/or without structure might be questioned. 😕

There are experts that can expound and even correct where I’m off.

@Andre Jones are there talks of other municipalities (cities) taking over Prichard completely, i.e Saraland or City of Mobile?

Thanks for the advice @Denise Evans

Is it really worthless to file ejectment since the c-11 filing took place already? Trying to collect rent at this point... even if it’s  less.

In mobile county, the owner filed bankruptcy / chapter 11.  My Business partner purchased the tax certificate from the State (AL). The filing listed biz partner as a creditor; however the associated property is not the property purchased.
Multiple creditors are listed with their associated property affiliation. 
One of the creditors is a bank and biz partner’s tax certificate property is listed under the bank’s name, not his name. There is no mortgage on the property based on probate records. (As far as we can tell)

He is ready to file an response (or claim document); however I presume the claim amount and property listing must be updated to reflect the correct details. The next steps is for him to get that updated. 

Ejectment suit not initiated due to the service doc; and at this point it seems moot       . 

Has anyone dealt with a chapter 11 filing during redemption period to share insight/guidance of your experience? Will the tax investment become recoverable or is there a way to gain the property if the claim obligation is not met... during the redemption period?

@Shimira Greene Did you try diy ejectment  instead of dealing with a lawyer.
