once traced down the secretary of a non-profit that was 50 years in the past,
did a deed with supporting factual affidavit, and title was happy. Conversely,
I’ve had to do quiet title against long-lost heirs, which is mostly very lengthy
process. If you can and haven’t already, get title co attorney in the loop on

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Corporation
was dissolved about 20 years ago. Real property was owned by Corp. at time of
dissolution but was never transferred out of Corp.’s name. Sole shareholder
held 100% interest in Corp. Shareholder has now died and the real property
needs to be transferred either into shareholder’s estate or directly to
beneficiaries of shareholder’s estate per his Will. Title company is drawing a
blank on who needs to sign what to clear title from Corp. to Estate or directly
to beneficiaries. Maybe just accompany the PR Deed with an affidavit signed by
PR setting out the above facts and reasons as to where the real property
rightfully goes?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
