Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
A couple that used their house as collateral on a bailsbond for their daughter has been divorced. The wife no longer has any claims to the house. Since the divorce the husband has died and through a survivorship left the entire house to his mother. The mother, now in possession, has sold the house to her grandson. Nothing has been done with the bailbond. What would be the best cause of action be for the original surviving owner of the house?

See a lawyer. That should have been done long ago. That bond likely is a recorded lien against the house and probably still remains against the house. That should have been dealt with by the closing attorney at the sale. As a matter of fact it should have been dealt with in the divorce. When people do things without lawyers, as apparently was done here, the cost of fixing things is uusally far more than addressing them correctly to begin with.
Who is the original surviving owner? The mother? Here is the reality, I don't know who was sold what when, but everyone laid claim to the house subject to the lien by the bondsman. good luck
