I'm sure you were wondering if I was ever going to post again. I was honestly beginning to wonder myself.
The good news is we finally have a clean title!
The short version of how we got here:
We had a court date scheduled for early December but it got postponed multiple times because they were unable to serve papers to the next of kin for the guy who died but still had a contact on our lot. Why were they unable to serve papers you ask? Well, that's a funny story. The next of kin is in fact a convicted murderer serving a very long sentence in prison. You would have thought it would make serving papers easier since you know exactly where he is, but it didn't. Regardless, on December 31st the judge finally gave the stamp of approval to cancel the contact and a couple weeks ago we got the document in the mail, which means we can resume the process of securing financing.
So not a huge leap forward, but certainly a very important step!
I guess this means we'll have to shovel the sidewalk now! A small price to pay for finally, legally owning our lot!
