This could be a very dumb question with a very simple answer, but if someone could clarify for me.I've been going through numerous Notices of Tax Deed Applications to reach out to former owners of those properties.On some of the notices, next to a name it will say "EST" followed by "%" and another name.ex)Legal Title Holders:Michael Jordan EST% Dwayne WadeMy question is, what does the "EST" represent, and who is the legal former title holder?

He then tells me he wrote on the title that he is the lein holder and won't be giving me my title back until my old car is sold to make up the money he gave me for the old car so I could buy the new one or pay him the 3000 first. 

I received a modification to my original offer on my first deal stating that the current security deposits would need to be transferred to the buyer’s (my) designated holder that “shall be a licensed Georgia real estate broker.”

We take title to it in an entity called the "Exchange Accommodating Title holder". 

All three times I never increased my max, but several months later the auction holder contacted me to strike a deal on my offer.

Typically, second mortgage lien holder will foreclosures when the sale proceeds will cover both mortgage debts. 

My understanding that when a second is crammed down, as opposed to stripped, the value of the note is “crammed down” to reflect the existing equity.....the holder has to take a reduced balance, and that is all that’s owed....once that is paid you are done.

I'm currently in the middle of getting my Real Estate Agent license and hope to have it done by end of year.i was studying my Law of Contracts material and i came across the rule (537.11) that states that agents must use TREC promulgated forms in a transaction unless the license holder (me) is acting SOLELY as principal or the principal (client) requires use of another contract and/or one prepared by an attorney.  

@Brian Eastman gave a spot on answer, from my perspective as a account holder side of things.
