Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Minnesota

Notice of ''Adverse to Claim''

On March 31, 2004 I broke up with my boyfriend-renter who had lived with me in my home approximately 6 six years. December 28, 2004 revengeful ex-boyfriend-renter filed an adverse to claim on my home and property. I sold my home in October, 2005. The deed is in my name only, however the title is not clear due to the lien. Recently, the house is up for sale. My questions - What is the stat of limitations on Adverse to Claim? Can I file a summons and complaint although I am a party to the case? Doesn't ex-boyfriend-renter have the burden of proof? Is house maintenance, i.e. mowing lawn, plowing snow off the driveway entitle him to ownership rights. Could he try to use �maintenance� as a defense strategy?

Re: Notice of ''Adverse to Claim''

Your ex-boyfriend's filing of a document against the title of the property without filing a law suit may have given rise to a claim for slander of title. You should consult with an attorney regarding your rights.
