Q: a active land contract with mistakes, (1) recorded the deed (warranty deed) clear in my name. no mrtge, do i still owe ?
warranty deed with lien covenant with original grantor signed and myself as grantee. Clear title warranty stated. the date on the deed which is officially recorded states 2008 the document was created and recorded on 2018 (2nd mistake). it is a land contract that im paying on but no lien or mortgage is recorded -no where is it recorded that monies are due prior to clear title.... nothing is recorded but the deed with original owner transferring "clear" title to me. if? big if? i stopped paying (i feel there is an illegal money situation) is the title valid and i own it clear? are their mistakes huge and technically i got a "gift" or can they just correct the title(deed)? without my consent signature?
A: Whoever made all these mistakes could not have been a competent lawyer; so do yourself a big favor by hiring a REAL lawyer to fix all these mistakes.
A: Land contracts are generally scams. To answer this question I would need to see the deed document. While other documents not recorded cannot bind third parties, you could still be bound if they sued you.
