That is an incredible amount of time to wait around and not follow up on something like the sale of real property. An attorney could not even begin to advise you until the status of title was reviewed, along with any escrow instructions. It is not clear what you "signed off."

Mr. Roach is correct. Ten years is WAY past the time limits for almost any claim you might have. Pretty much anything you might have a right to would have a three or four year time limit to do anything about it.

TEN YEARS later and you are only asking now???

Any statute of limitations for legal action has long since passed, unless there are truly unique facts that would somehow 'toll' the statute.

If serious about hiring counsel to review all the documentation and 'facts' in this to see IF there is any remaining basis for your legal claim, feel free to contact me.
