I bought property at a property tax auction in washington state in 2005. I put it up for sale and we have potential buyers.The buyer checked in on the property and found out that there is a litigation lean from some lawyer in 2001 and leans proir to us purchasing the property from some maintenance company witch shoudl have been cleared up before the tax auction sold the property.When we bought the property we were told that the purchase price was for all debts from past owner.The prior owner is dead.We never new anything about this until we put it up for sale.We called the treasury Dept and got the run around saying that none of the leans can be removed.We have been paying on the property and now the property is worthless we can't sell it or do anything with it.Can someone direct me to what to do. and what kind of lawyer I need to help clear this up.
