@Hany Morsy- Definitely worth consulting a real estate attorney in your area to understand your options.  They would normally look at the whole chain of title and see where the defects are.  When I do quiet title actions in California, it's pretty common that there are people or entities that are no longer in existence, so we're not able to serve them with the lawsuit.  We end up publishing the lawsuit in the newspaper to provide them notice of it.  Again, it may work differently in your area, so consult an attorney in your area to understand your options.
