What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? WASHINGTON
I purchased two lots. I recieved title clearance and deed recorded.
Neighbor next door claims he owns one of the lots.
He claims he got the lot when he bought his house one year ago.
I see in the county records where he owns his lot.
The lot in question is not listed with him as the owner.
He claims the guy I bought it from (SMITH) gave it to one of his friends (JONES) years ago. So when my neighbor bought his house from JONES, the lot was thrown in the deal.
The person I bought my lot from (SMITH) has been paying the taxes on it for years and years.,
So, if the neighbor produces a quit claim deed or ??? but NEVER recorded it, does he own the lot I just think I bought?
If he doesn't have any documents, can he be the owner claiming oral agreements?
How long can one sit on a quit claim deed or ??? before it MUST be filed?
Thanks
