You need to hire an attorney to assist you in clearing title. More facts are needed to determine what you actually will need.

You probably need to go to court to get an appropriate order from a judge "clearing title." You need to consult with an attorney in your area who has experience in this type of matter. Our office is in Boca Raton, and we offer a free initial consultation.
