Re: Obtaining clean property title

In order to answer your question it will require a review of the title records and a determination as to the age of the mortgage and whether or not it is an institutional mortgage. If a discharge truly can not be obtained, then you would need to file a Petition to Quiet Title with the court and obtain judicial relief. I suggest that it would be worthwhile to hire an attorney to review the matter in greater detail.
