Does a Tax Deed give you title?
You’ve just purchased a tax deed from the county tax commissioner, do you own the property? No, not really. You will need to foreclose on the right to redeem unless the prior owner or a lienholder pays you your bid amount plus 20%. You are probably asking, “If I foreclose on the right to redeem, do I now own the property?” Sort of. If you wish to sell the property, you will likely have to file a quiet title lawsuit. A quiet title lawsuit involves retaining a special master, performing title searches, and legal notices being sent to prior owners and other lien holders. Unfortunately, it is a complex undertaking.
Met Lane has handled countless quiet title actions from start to finish. Let us help you in acquiring a marketable title to the property you’ve just purchased with a tax deed so you can sell it. We are
experts.
Business transactions today require contracts. Depending on their subject matter, contracts may be verbal or in writing. When one party to the contract fails to honor its contractual obligations, the
consequence is a breach of contract resulting in a contract dispute. A contract dispute can impact a company’s operations and hinder the ability of a company to conduct future business. You must take
immediate action to reduce the negative impact to your company’s image and/or future earnings. If you are involved in a contract dispute, contact us to discuss the details of your situation to better understand your legal rights and options. Met has had invaluable experience and a success record in dealing with such matters.
The Homeowners’ Association (HOA) and Property Owners’ Association (POA) are all notorious for requiring their stringent regulations be met by anyone who falls under their jurisdiction in Georgia. If you control a set of property or real estate and want to manage your own HOA as well, you will need to navigate one of the most intricate and delicate set of rules out there.
If you want to avoid fees and legal disputes with the HOA in your community, or if you want to operate an HOA of your own, you must ensure that all rules and guidelines are clear enough to follow, and then followed precisely. This is where we can step in and help you avoid critical mistakes.
