Re: Property Deed

You should retain a real estate attorney immediately and take action to ensure you get title.

Re: Property Deed

You first need to find out if your seller owned the property he was selling you. You can get an ownership report from a title company for about $150. You will need a good legal description of the property, not a street address. If he owns it, he can make a new deed to you; his original deed is not needed. If he doesn't own it, you'll have to sue him.
