Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
lis pendence on property
A couple of months ago I purchased my moms home. Orginally, the deed contained my step father, mother, and step father sister. My mom had gotten ill after the passing of my step father and could no longer keep up with the mortgage so we decided to refinance. My mom does not have good credit so she quick claimed the home to myself. But in order to make the claim official my aunt also had to sign her name as well. At first she freely states that she was going to sign but changed her mind and instead asked my mom and myself for $30,000. We explained to her that withdrawing this money would put us back at the same mortgage my mom was paying which defeats the purpose of refinancing. She refused and eventually signed. According to her, the deal was for her name to be placed back on title with a time period. Nothing was discused with me concerning this matter. I also found out from the title company that she was threatening them to place her name back on title. I spoke to the manager that stated that they never knew of such actions until after the fact that all the paper work was done that the mortgage company sent them paper work requesting to put her name back on title. I refused and found out she has a ''lis pendence'' against me.

Re: lis pendence on property
All documents should be reviewed and an action taken to address the adverse action placed on the title. You should have an attorney provide this service.
It appears that the individual who quit claimed, and it is questionable whether she actually did so, has changed her mind.
Other factors need to be reviewed and additional information is needed. Contact an attorney.
