@John Thedford think you have been a little harsh on @Angie A. Yes she has done something unethical, however she was sold a dream and given bad information on what to do to reach it. Yes she should have considered how the memorandum would get released when she recorded it. More importantly she should have dealt with it faster. However I still put much of the blame on the people teaching this stuff.
What idiot told her "And this is something I was told was required to
do"? Also Angie was told she could charge a fee for the release! Who
is teaching this stuff?
Angie made a mistake and came to us for help how to rectify it. Her mistake was one of ignorance (negligence) not of malice. The smart people here, (John is certainly in that group) should first strive to educate, then if appropriate reprimand.
Regarding how Angie should proceed, clearly her attorney should address this ASAP. However if it were me I would write up a release, this release would reference the original recorded document with liber and folio, have it notarized and record it in the land records.
Angie you should realize that what you have done is a very serious issue. This is certainly a Tort (something you can get sued for) and might possibly be criminal. It sounds like you are hanging around and or listening to the wrong people.
I hope, Angie, you learn from this. There are many lessons here. One which is not obvious is that another wholesaler cannot legally take your deal. It is called "interference with a contract" Another lesson is; you need to KNOW you deal is so good it will easily quickly resell or you need to be in a position to close on the deal yourself.
Regarding how I would handle it if I were the VICTIM, I would move forward with any sale or marketing efforts. This cloud will get dealt with eventually and if it temporarily blocks a sale, that only increases the damages she could claim. At the same time I would talk to TREC and/or to an attorney to file suit against Angie.
