Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Property Seizure.

I had a duplex rental propertry that has a 609, 609 1/2 address. The property was forclosed on and posession was granted for 609, the other half was never served or seized, it is like they never knew it existed? The tenant is still there, I am not collecting any rent and telling them to find a new place to live. the sheriffs dept says they know nothing about the other half and have not been told to do anything. Do I or the tenant have any legal rights to follow up with this property?

Re: Property Seizure.

Its possible that when you bought the property it was 2 separate parcels. If it was you would think the lender would have a mortgage on both parcels. It appears that they did not.

Or they would have foreclosed on both.

You could check this out at the recorder of deeds. If indeed its 2 parcels and the second one isn't mortgaged then you should consult an attorney to find out what title you have to the second parcel.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
