It belonged to her husband and she said that the mortgage has not been paid in over 5 years.    

How would you handle this?

@Jon Holdman The mortgage company knew since they were handling my 203k rehab funds and was in direct contact with my contractor. we even filled out a mortgagors letter or completion the second it was finished. 

The fact that we're talking about 2 claims spread among 3 properties (2 rentals and our primary residence) did not matter, it was handled the same as 2 claims against 1 property.Okay, so we contacted some other insurers and finally settled on State Farm.

I want some tax advice & strategy in property & business entity, and currently i'm not such if i can hire CPA part-time to handle my taxation & book keeping.

These would be long-term hold properties.   

Either way but if they want to use their agent you need to have your lawyer look at how the contract of sale handles commission.

So, the best way to handle it is to keep the eviction clean and simple (no statement of claim), get them out so you can replace them with a good tenant, and then go after the arrearages in small claims court.

We handle all types of closings from standard residential to complicated closings arising out of litigation. 

Car drives by, tosses a butt or a paper cup out, either blows into the yard, your claim is that it belongs to them?
