Re: rent/owner

Your question is not clear and I suggest you consult with legal counsel. The current status of the title must be reviewed. Are you a record owner or just a partial owner. If you are a partial owner then the will must be probated in order to give you clear title. If you do not take care of the status of title, future sales or refinancing will be impossible. I would be happy to review your deed and provide a opinion if you desire for a small fee. Gerald M. Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
