Q: My late father bought a ranch 2012, I didn't find any documents of the transaction but payments receipts of about 300k
In order for me to keep doing payments and not loose property to seller we created a REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT for me to keep paying and feeling secure. We decided to move from just a REAL ESTATE SALES CONTRACT to TITLE and seller refuses to sign warranty deed before we negotiate the gasline proceeds due to a gasline company contacting him they want to install a gasline thru the property my dad bought since 2012, my question is...IS THAT POSSIBLE, IS SELLER ENTITLED TO ANY PROCEEDS??
A:
I suggest you search the County deed records where the land is located. There may have been something filed that you're unaware of.
Further, consult with a real estate attorney in your area that can review the paperwork you have signed and go over the other facts with you in private.
