Q: We bought mobile home title was in sellers name , land owner says mobile home belongs to them , that we cant legally own
The land owner Says that she has went to lawyer to get mobile home , but we bought it from title holder . What can we do ?
A: You need to get a lawyer to read all the contracts. I've seen on TV that there is an ongoing scam in which landowners purport to sell mobile homes for extremely attractive prices, but the land lease on the property is where the landlord makes the money, and the landlord asserts a security interest in the home, so that the buyer actually owns nothing of value and cannot sell it without entrapping the buyer in the overpriced lease. By avoiding legal review, you may have just bought into the seller's mess, but perhaps there is a way out of the contract... or maybe it isn't that bad in your case. But, your problem starts with a need for a full legal review. Sorry.
