Hi, I read your comment regarding Katherine Yamamoto and thought you might help me with some advice. We were in Escrow tryng to buy a house for 8 months. Finally the bank cancelled Escrow because they said they had been trying to get a clear title through Land Court, but Land Court was not being cooperative. Meanwhile, Land Court says it is the Banks fault. We are still interested in the home as it meets our needs, but to this day it is still sitting empty and the Bank still has not been able to resolve the issue. Any suggestions? Thanks Michelle

My grandmother died in 1999. Her house has been detiorating since then. Today the home is a haven to alcoholics, drug abusers, and recently a host to a horrific death of a two year old by the “family pet” mixed breed dog.
The occupants are relatives whom have not kept up with the property taxes yet continue to deprive my brothers and sisters the right to share the property.
I want to pay the back taxes however I also want to take over the property. In other words I want clear title. I want to refurbish and rebuild the house to bring up the value of the home. Is there anything I can do to gain title to the home? Thank-you.
