Current property deed has two names (X and Y), however the mortgage note has only one name (X).And as per the title search report, Chain of Title1:When the property was purchased the deed has both X and Y names as joint tenants with the Right of Survivorship.Chain of Title2:Later a quit calm deed was made with Grantor( prior owner)  Y and Grantee (deed owner ) XChain of Title3:Again a bargain and sale deed was made the other way from above Grantor( prior owner) X and Grantee (deed owner ) YCurrent Title (vesting information):And one more time a Deed was made with both names (X and Y) on the deed as joint tenants with the Right of Survivorship.Now, as X is the only mortgage holder from the time of purchase, and bank is foreclosing the mortgage on X, will Y have any legal ownership to the property, if the property gets sold at sheriff sale.

I generally don't do that, I just try to get an idea if the property is vacant or occupied and the general physical condition.Then I do a title check to look for problems in chain of title, make sure it's a first lien and look for other problems like tax liens.

One does no favor to the chain of title by inserting a quitclaim into it.

I know the Chicago Title inside and out, as I used to work as an Underwriter there before branching out on my own.  

Somewhere there is a break in the chain of title and they have to fix it.

I an currently in financing, I'm an assistant branch manager at a financial institution.

I have asked our branch manager/broker there (Travis Hughes) to contact you.

But a title company expert advised me that quit claim deeds are viewed suspiciously anymore in the chain of title and that there are better avenues for getting the deed.

They also just started a hard money lending branch that I've used as well. 

Make sure you review any email chains with the seller as well as what is stated in the purchase contract just to make sure you even have a case.Good luck
