Hire an OH attorney to file suit for a Partition Sale.

You probably need to file a partition action to force the sale. Except, the mortgage company may beat you to forcing another sale. A partition action can take months (or years) before you reach the end. I recommend you find a real estate attorney to advise you what your rights are.

Write the Trustee and explain exactly how you will be damaged (lay it out in dollars and cents) by the failure to execute their duty. This will at least put them on notice. You may still have sovereign immunity problems to getting to a verdict in your favor but it may be enough to light a fire... View More

The LLC is likely engaging in wholesaling. This is a legal, but ethically tricky, activity in selling a contract to another. It is unlikely that you can breach the contract without penalty.

Check the verbiage in your purchase agreement. Specifically, see if there is a contingency on affordable or your ability to obtain financing.

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I believe the carrier could defend such a claim instead of accepting it - elements of notice, change of ownership, time elapsed, etc. But another attorney could see things differently. If you were represented by an... View More

Typically, your agreement with the Seller should specify how much you should receive and when.
