Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Quiet title action and recovery of costs

In 1981 a lady gave me a 20 yr. mortgage when I purchased property from her. I fully pd. her off in 1993. In 1992 she put her son on as co mortgage holder without telling me. It was uncovered when I tried selling the prop. on the title search. He and she refuse to sign out of mean spiritedness. He currently lives in the Carribean. A letter apprars to have done no good. They know there are alledgedly penalties, but appear not to care. The prop is located in Putnam county. How can I:1. get the title cleared. 2. get all or a portion of the 25,000 profit i lost when the deal fell thru due to their refusal.

You obviously know about going to court due to the title of this inquiry. Follow the statute (F.S. 701.04) I believe, which allows you to sue to cancell the mortgage of record and to recover for any damages for their refusal to satisfy the mortgage of record.

I am licensed only in Fla. and the Federal Courts and answer questions only from/re. Florida connected inquiries.

Nothing can substitute for a personal conference with an attorney and you are strongly encouraged to call/consult with one.
