Michigan
I have a situation in which I was quit claim deeded a property for a very small amount of money. Here 's why: it is two lots, lots D and E. Lot D has a house on it. I was deeded both lots but a title search shows that I only was conveyed lot D and that lot E is out of the chain of title . The city has been taxing both lots together and the taxes were paid by the previous owner for the last 15 years. Part of the house is on lot E. What do you think would happen if went to court and explained this to a judge. The city is behind the times and really can't explain why they were taxing the wrong owner.
