You need a competent KY attorney to file suit to Quiet Title, declaring the lien released. Have good proof of timely payments. Publication Service may be necessary. Certified Copy of Judgment is recorded to release the lien.

You will need a very good KY attorney to determine heirship. A Quiet Title action, and possible Ejectment, will probably be needed. A sale should be made by Quit Claim Deed only.

Without a Will being Probated, the next of kin of the Decedent take the personal property. All next of kin will have to sign as co owners. You might need a KY attorney to determine their identity and draft an Affidavit.

Hire a KY attorney to search the Title. If there is a reverter clause, then the grantor's heirs might now own it. It will require a difficult Quiet Title Action to get Title. Best course is to have the last Trustees of Church AND grantor's Heirs sign a Quit Claim Deed as grantors.... View More
