Ownership<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Washington, we hardly ever deal with
these things, so I thought I would throw it out to the group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who is trying to buy a
house from someone who is the heir of the owner who gave a
real estate contract to the current purported owner of the
property.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The purported owner has recorded no deed,
but has recorded a real estate contract which includes
phrasing that, upon completion of the payments, the buyer will
receive a fulfillment deed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apparently, something has gone wrong and
the party granting a real estate contract wants to renig and
sell to my client. They are arguing that the purported owner
does not hold title because he never recorded a deed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recall, from those many years ago, that a
real estate contract or a “contract for deed” gives all the
trappings of ownership to the buyer, they just do not get a
deed until their obligations are fulfilled, correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the question is, can I file a quiet
title action to establish ownership in the party granting the
real estate contract. Methinks the answer is no..no??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
