House Deed Ownership Dispute
Ask Your Question For FreeSummary
If a house deed is recorded in your name, you are generally recognized as the owner. However, if there is an agreement allowing the previous owner to reclaim the land if payment terms are unmet, ownership could be contested. In Missouri, the statute of limitations for real estate disputes is generally 10 years. If payment records are destroyed, reconstructing them through banks, witnesses, or legal aid is advisable. Consult a real estate attorney for detailed guidance.Full Conversation
