I’ve read the legal paperwork regarding what’s done in order to quiet the title on a tax lien property. My confusion is, how far back does people who hold interest go?
I purchased a tax lien that was sold the next year with a “warranty deed”
The lien was for 2022 taxes and the deed was transferred in 2023. prior to the transfer there is a long history of tax sales and different names paying taxes including a previous investor. how far back does the line of interest go and would the previous investor be considered someone who “holds interest” in the property? He bid on the taxes when the property was in someone else’s name. The reason behind this, is that this is family transferring property to one another.
I am not sure I can 100% answer your question. Currently we are working on 3 properties that we have hired an attorney with a title company to navigate through the taxes and who all may have claims to the property. In one of the cases the owners died, so we are having to find all heirs and gathering death certificates to show that the heirs are the people that can sign on the property. I will say we pay for a title bond on all properties just incase. I am by no means an attorney or an expert. This is just a situation we are currently in and our experience.
