Quieting Title with a Sketchy History
So, the state treasury foreclosed on a property back in 2000 and issued a deed to DNR. DNR auctions the property, issues a quit claim in 2002. At this time, recipient of quit claim could have gotten a fee simple title from a judge without notifying anyone, yes, because the DNR established title? (That's question #1.)
The person who bought it at DNR auction abandons the property, so county forecloses in 2010. I buy the property the other day. To quiet title, do I need to notify anyone, or will a judge issue fee simple due to statute of limitation expiration?
