Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
Land owner rights
I paid cash for property in 2003. Deed was never transferred to my name. I have 2 used trailers on property. The city declared trailers condemed and must be removed in 30 days or renovated or city will proceed to do so. If violated be fined $100/day til removed. The letter had no date anywhere on it. Now as of Jan 9th (?30?days after notice)I received a letter from the person I purchased property from saying that I have lost all claim to the property and any personal items need to be removed ASAP. So, basic we lose everything. I would like to know what rights do I have?

Re: Land owner rights
Hello. I can understand how you feel.
You have a right to the return of your
money, in my opinion. The person who
sold you the property may not own the
property which means that you could be
a victim of fraud. Filing a lawsuit
against this person is an option that you have. This deal should have been
in writing since land was involved. I
will be happy to discuss this with you
further and in more detail.
