Re: A bank put a lien on property that's in a trust

Your facts are very complicated and very difficult to address. With a pending foreclosure, it sounds like you need to see a local real estate attonrey right away to file litigation to postpone the sale. You may need to initiate litigation, record a lis against the property and commnece discovery if the bank won't cooperate with your investigation. I would do this NOW, before the foreclosure sale occurs.
