Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
Can a mortgage company foreclose on property/ land that does not have a clear title? Can a lien be imposed? THe land was donated prior to successions pf granparents. Heirs are disputing the title. A home was built and mortgaged on this piece of land using the land as collateral, nine years ago. Divorced now, Sept. 2009, lost job and mortgage company to foreclose.

Dear LawGuru Friend,
Yes, the mortgage holder (mortgagee) can foreclose on
whatever interest the mortgatgor (debtor who signed the mortgage)
had at the time he/she/they signed the mortgage--no more. To
give you a better answer, I would need more information. Feel free
to contact me by e-mail at [email protected] and give me
your name and phone number and I will call you and/or email you and
discuss this matter further with you. Of course, there is no charge.
