Q: Hello my name is Astrit. I’ve bought a house back in 2012.
Hello my name is Astrit. I’ve bought a house back in 2012 and I’ve been paying mortgage since then. I learned that the deed isn’t in my name or the mortgage. The broker that I worked with has his name on the deed and mortgage. He keeps telling me he’s working on putting it on my name but I’m worried why it’s taking so long and what can I do? I’ve 3 small kids and I’m worried that he could just kick us out the house and say it was never mines. He gave me fake deeds saying it was transferred to me but I didn’t really understand back then because it was the first time I bought a house.
A: You apparently have not bought anything. Hire an attorney to have a Resulting Trust declared and the Court order the conveyance. But that has nothing to do with the mortgage which you take subject to. Additionally if the seller is an actual licensed broker, and committed fraud, then file a complaint with the licensing Agency in New Jersey. Do not mess with real property without an attorney.
