Q: What is needed to claim lawful interest in property that has been seized. The lien is mine they are still owing me
The operators and purchasers of my property made a contract to be paid monthly until paid. I did an owner carry sale.
But now thy are in trouble with the law and the court has threatened to forfeiture. Can the court take what is mine. I am not part of the charges against the present owners. I am told their is a claim that can be made. Could you please advise
Thank you
A: An secured creditor's interest in real property subject to seizure may be exempt. A secured creditor may usually file a claim to protect its interest with the Court conducting the proceedings.
