[WSBARP] Clearing title old bank as legal owner

[Josh Grant]

I hate mobile homes.

This is a 2nd request for some listserve wisdom.

I have a client trying to purchase a lot and old mobile home.  The mobile home has been fixed up.  Total purchase price is only $5000 so a great deal of legal work isn’t going to happen.
DOL tells us that a predecessor of the seller borrowed from “Western Savings and Loan” in 1986 and they continue as the “legal owner” on the title. .  We found a similar named S&L out of Phoenix, which was inactivated in 1989.  For that matter, we also have to clear off the old 1986 registered owner as well.  kind of a nightmare.

What is the procedure for clearing off these old debts and getting a new Title issued?

Thanks.

Josh
