Two years ago my Grandfather sold his home and took the profit of $16500 to purchase a mobilehome and lot. The mobilehome is definetly not worth the $16500 he paid her for it. He received the title to the mobilehome but was unable to get the owner to meet with him to quit claim the deed in his name. He died this past April and now the owner is refusing to sign it into the beneficieries name which is his daughter. The owner has told her that she has someone to pay the back taxes and she will have to leave the property. What would be the laws in Florida to protect his daughter from losing his property?

Hi lisa.

Welcome to the forum.

If the owner has not quitclaimed the property then how can your grandfather get the title of the property? I think you should try out a title search to know who is on the title of the property.

BTW do you have any proof that shows your grandfather has given the money to the owner of the mobile home? I think it will be required.

Best of luck,
Larry

Generally, the seller is responsible for back taxes. Your grandfather's estate has a right to the mobile home lot, or the money back. Since she appears to be in possession, the "owner" will have to evict the grandfather's daughter, with all tenant protections. As a defense, you can raise the contract. Or, you may proceed in probate court to obtain title. Contact a probate attorney in your area.
