Q: Have a notarized contract on a property that was given to me back in 2019
The contract states that I would pay all back due mortage which we did
House was not livable so we have for last 2 years been renovating the property , we have invested a large sum and mortage payments have been made directly to the mortage co
The contract also states that he would provide us with a quick deed so that we would be able to transfer title in our name when the situation was feasible for us
Recieved a notice on 12-23-21 stating that we are to leave property by 12-31-21
Have all material recipes , hoa payments , mortage payments and labor cost so far.
Need attorney that practices in Osceola county that can help me in this very urgent matter
Thank you in advance

A:
It sounds like you are being treated as a tenant. You'll need to file suit called Declaratory Action to ascertain your rights under this "mortgage." Was your mortgage recorded? Do you know if there are any other liens filed against the property? Do you know if it was sold to a good faith buyer? These are just some of the basic questions that will need to be answered.
Quitclaim deed means that the person may transfer only that amount of title that s/he has, which may be no title at all or have cloud on the title.
It is good you recognize you need a lawyer. I would not limit yourself to Osceola county, in that laws apply statewide and all court proceedings are online. You will need a real estate litigator. Lawyers cannot contact you for business here, but you can message them in private to seek their help.
