Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
deed of trust holder died, what happens ???
I am wanting to purchase vacant land. there is a td against it for $18,000, however the private holder died 3 to 4 years ago. I want to know if this td can be cleared, if so how? I am unable to find any other info on this td holder. Nor have anything else been recorded in an estate name. Another question, county tax sale ~ what leins are senior. Would a trust deed (even though they did not forclose) follow it through after a tax sale? Thank you for any help

Generally, a Tax lien sale extinguishes all other liens. Regarding the deed of trust, his heirs are entitled to the money. If there are no heirs, then it might go to the state. You may need to do a quiet title action to clear the deed of trust from the title.
