Judicial Foreclosure of Alabama tax lien (the new system)

[Denise Evans]

Do you know anybody who has successfully completed a judicial foreclosure lawsuit for an Alabama tax lien, under the new tax sales system?  I'm trying to create a list of problems people have encountered along the way, so others can avoid those problems. Once I have enough input from BP community and others, I'll post my FEP/S (Frequently Encountered Problems & Solutions) list in this thread.  You can reply off-thread via PM if you prefer.  MY FEP/s list will not include any names.

I am in the process of foreclosing on a property in Bessemer. The only thing I have had a problem with is that the owner has until the 25th of May to pay back taxes, but the official deed won’t be available until sometime in August. Why would it take 3 months for a deed to become available?
