[WSBARP] Title Issue

[Bryce Dille]

You usually have to publish to get service on the holder of the deed of trust unless they are still in business and you can get personal service on the entity but if you have to publish then you're looking at a minimum of 60 days so with that in mind I would think quiet title action from beginning to end would probably take 90 days

Yes, a quiet title action is your next action. If you can get a hold of any one authorized to act for the Beneficiary (winding up the business), you can likely get them to sign a reconveyance and then you can substitute yourself for the Trustee and reconvey if you are persuaded the Note has been paid.

Subject: [WSBARP] Title Issue

Good morning,

PC making offer on a house, but there are 2 Deeds of Trust from 2005 and no reconveyances recorded. I have seen this many times, and was able to contact a lender to have a reconveyance recorded. Here, the trustee is out of business (as of 2008). The Deeds of Trust do not indicate a maturity date. The title company said they will remove them from the title report, and said it will not be an issue for resale if they use the same title company (assuming the company is in business).

PC wants to know what the process would be to remove the liens permanently.  First option is to track down the parties to the liens, but if that fails, is a quiet title action the next option? This is a little out of my area.  Does anyone have advice? Thank you 😊
