Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

Bill of sale falsely provided

I was in agreement to rent to purchase (1) mobilehome to which I am maintaining the lien against. The document provided to me was a ''bill of sale''. My husband and I both signed. The purchaser is subletting the home to her brother. I want ownership of my property back or her to provide me with full payment for payoff. Our agreeement was for a rental to purchase but I overlooked that she provided me with a ''bill of sale'' and we both signed. How/ Or can I be held responsible for a sale of property that I do not own?

Re: Bill of sale falsely provided

From your question it appears to me that you did not have the benefit of legal advice in attempting to conduct your transaction regarding the mobile home. In order to provide you with competent legal advice at this stage of the proceedings, I would need to interview you and also review any documents you have signed. Generally speaking, if you intended to enter into a binding,legally enforceable, contract, such as a lease with an option to buy, and did not effectively do so, then I am not sure what you have done. Obviously, you cannot sell what you do not own. Depending upon where you are located, I may be able to provide legal services to you in an effort to straighten this situation out or at least advise you regarding your legal rights and duties, if any, as pertaining to the mobile home. You may call me for a free telephone consultation at 314-727-2822.
