arizona tax lien property

I have purchased 4 CP's on a parcel and am preparing to go to superior court for Judicial Foreclosure of Right to Redeem. I plan to represent myself and have followed the procedure in ars 42-451. My question is do I need to have a title search preformed to take to court? The revised statute does not say that It is required. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My response: please clarify exactly what you are trying to do.

In arizona at anytime after the expiration of 3 years from the sale of a tax lien, the purchaser may bring an action in superior court in the county in which the real property is located to foreclose the right to redeem. I am trying to get get deed to this property and I already have 4 years of certificate of purchase slips on the property. According to the statute I have to notify the property owner by certified mail that I intend to proceed to court on this matter. It does not state in the statute if I must have a title search done on the property before court. I have done a search with the county recorders office and there are no liens registered on this property except tax liens. (which I hold all of them). I have asked the Accessor for a certified copy stating this but she will not give me one. I needed to know if it would be a good idea to have a title search done for the court proceedings. I did not know if this was required in the state of Arizona.

You do need a copy of the title report among other things. If you do not know what you need to do or what evidence you need, then you are not in a position to represent yourself in Court.
