Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Clouding a Title
My ex allowed property we purchased together to go into foreclosure. I was advised to do what is called clouding the title. Does this lien follow him or will I receive payment when the property is sold by the bank

Re: Clouding a Title
Whatever you were "advised" to do regarding title to this property, it is wrong. Whatever that person meant will likely get you sued, if not prosecuted. You may have a claim against your ex, but not against the bank or its purchaser, based on the facts you have given. See a lawyer, and take your legal advice from your lawyer, not from others, however well meaning.
