What is the name of your state? NY
My mom passed away in 97. I contacted a lawyer to handle her estate closing being she had a house. I was appointed administrator of the estate.
Now I am in final stages of selling the property and attorney I have now alerted me that I have two outstanding liens against the house. What I don't understand is why the lawyer who handled the estate closing didn't bother to run a title search. How can you transfer a property without doing a title search?? That way the new owner knows if there are any outstanding debts and decide if it's worth keeping the property. I never received any letters from the creditors saying x amount dollars is owed. Is there anything I can do legally do to this laywer? Being totally totally mispresented me
