[WSBARP] Quiet Title and Due Process

[Jim Doran]

A few weeks ago you all helped me with the title questions I had on a
matter where the girlfriend whose name is "on the title" has disappeared
and cannot be found to sign a Quit Claim Deed to remove herself from title
so a loan modification can be completed.  She never paid anything into the
property and they were never married.

I have met with two title officers and they are adamant that the
girlfriend's name is "on the title".  I accept their omnipotent decision.

We are in the process of trying to contact the girlfriend again.  I have
called the parents in England and left clear messages..  The bank has sent
out a letter to the parent's address in England where the girlfriend is
from, with the QCD, and the letter was sent back with a note scribbled on
it saying that the girlfriend is gone.  Two other people have tried to find
the girlfriend and cannot.  I have sent a letter that will likely come back.

Here's my question:  How much due diligence does a party have to show in
order to get a Court to enter a default judgment and order removing the
girlfriend's name from the title?That's what the title officers need.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and any model affidavits if you
provide such to me.
