Q: What do I do???
I bought a piece of property and a mobile home from my great aunt she signed it over in a quick claim deed and I never had a chance to get the deed registered before it burnt up in a fire. My mobile home caught on fire but was salvageable but a man that's married into the family came along and got a quick claim deed to the land registered in his name and had me arrested for being on the property. While I was in jail for criminal trespass on my own property ( the charges where three out of court) he bulldozed and got rid of the mobile home. The title to the mobile home was in my name and the land was bought by me and legally should have been mine also. Can u help!!!
A: It will be necessary to hire a competent attorney to file a suit in Chancery to Quiet Title and possibly for a Resulting Trust. It will probably require witnesses as to consideration paid and your Aunt, as well as the Trustees' proving payment of Taxes. If you do not file suit within a limited amount of time, you will never obtain Title.
