Cathy’s mother, Debra, had mysteriously disappeared when Cathy was just 10 years old. Despite 15 years passing, detectives were unable to close the case. Cathy and her grandmother continued to live in Debra’s home, diligently keeping up with the mortgage payments.
Fast forward to the present, Cathy, now with a husband and a newborn, wanted to sell the property and start fresh. However, with Debra presumed alive and the house still titled under her name, neither Cathy nor her grandmother had the legal rights to the property. They were stuck, unable to move forward until the records were updated.
This is where our law firm stepped in. We worked tirelessly with various city and county departments, navigating through multiple bodies of law to achieve Cathy’s goals. Our dedicated team ensured that Cathy inherited the property, allowing her to close a challenging chapter of her life.
Thanks to our efforts, Cathy was able to sell the property and embark on a new journey with her family in just a few months, rather than the years it could have taken. This success story is a testament to our commitment to helping clients overcome legal obstacles and achieve their dreams.
The Results
- Cathy legally inherited the property.
- Property records were updated to reflect Cathy's ownership.
- Cathy was able to sell the property and purchase her new home with her family.
