<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Listmates, parents sell residence to daughter with a reversionary interest if daughter dies before parent’s loan paid in full. Daughter dies before loan paid in full and
husband (whom parents absolutely despise) probates daughter’s estate. Parties go to lengthy and acrimonious TEDRA arbitration regarding effectiveness of reversionary interest. Arbitrator says husband has to pay off the balance of the loan (which he does)
and says reversionary interest fully null and void and daughter’s estate gets the residence. The probate was closed three years ago. Now, three years later, parents record a “Notice of Interest in Ownership and Title” claiming parents own the residence due
to the reversionary interest and claim they own the residence because the daughter’s estate never owned the residence because the reversion clause in the purchase agreement was self-executing so the TEDRA action was illegal. The parents are quite elderly
and the “Notice” contains much nonsensical and bewildering language that I associate with constitutionalists.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">So, what to do? Should husband re-open the probate and bring a TEDRA action to enforce the terms of the arbitration and ask for a deed clearing title? Should husband bring
a quiet title action and summary judgement motion citing the arbitration decision? Some other action? Can husband get attorney fees in any of this.
