Just this week i went to closing for a property i plan to develop,
The woman i was going to purcahse the property from got the property in a divorce settlement, the property has been in her ex husbands family for some 40 years. The title report shows a broken link as to how her ex husbands parents came to control the property but the parents wrote a waranty deed when her ex husband and her purchased the home from the parents some 20 years ago.

The title report also says right to title and intrest as disclosed by the aformentioned deeds whats this mean, does this mean that the county recorder and court already cleared this up.

I dont have the time due to 1031 issues to wait 4-6 weeks to go through the courts to get this cleared up. The county has destroyed all records older than 20 years old and the title company that the parents would have used is out of business and the records have also been destroyed.

What should i do.

My girlfriend got a divorce 2 years ago and here is what her Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage says…The joint mortgage shall be the sole responsibility of Husband to pay after the date of the Final Judgment. Husband shall indemnify and hold Wife harmless from any cost, liability or expense arising from the joint mortgage and he shall remove her from the mortgage no later than 2 years after the date of the Final Judgment. Her Final was entered into record on May 30th, 2008. Now, in November of 2009, she is trying to buy a house and the lender says they can’t give her a mortgage because her ex-husband has been behind in his house payments for 4 or 5 months and that this bad credit is being charged NOT ONLY TO her ex’s credit report…BUT TO HERS!!! Now, if she is not responsible, per the Judge endorsed order of the court of Duval County, Florida, for the mortgage and ANY liability of such mortgage, then WHY is this information being placed on HER credit report by Wachovia? AND…are they CORRECT in doing this to her? If they are wrong, shouldn’t there be a way to fix this so she can buy a house and go on with her life? Please, someone out there help me to understand this! Thanks!
