What a cock. People always out to make a dishonest buck from another persons mistake.

Karma's a bitch.

A free house? woohoo! Fuck 'em. A chance like this only comes once in a lifetime. Keep it and sell it or maybe turn it into low income housing, you know, to be nice. Rent the bitch out for $300 a month to some filthy immigrants or perhaps the next crack whore that can pay you with a VCR and a blowjob. Merry fucking Christmas! :thumbsup

If you're the owner, shouldn't you be liable for 2-3 years of back taxes on the property then? Just give it back, I know if you made me homeless because of a lawyer's mistake, that would be the least of your concerns :)

I think you will wind up spending more money in court than you possibly have to gain :)

I would take into consideration Karma... It seems there is a wealth of Karma that you can win or lose here.

Think of the Brady Bunch episode. Remember when they found the wallet with all the money? The greed tore them up. Anyways in the end, the elderly couple gave them a reward. Maybe all involved would give you one for giving the house back.

There is no such thing as karma.
unless you call getting shot by your neighbour karma when you actually mean cause and effect.

ps. You can't actually sell his house because of a notary mistake. Where is the property deed and other title documentation lol.

I've heard that a lot... I've seen otherwise a lot!

that would be the least of your concerns...

unless you call getting shot by your neighbour karma when you actually mean cause and effect...

These pretty much say it all. lol You'd get your own new home... sort of cramped, damp and drafty I'd think. The view is horrendous as well. :1orglaugh

HAHA, you think you own and house and you didn't know about it? If you tried selling it you'd have the gov asking why you didn't pay taxes and shit the past 2 years genius.

yeah.. it's called cause and effect. If you're an absolute bastard you get "bad karma" because no one ever does anything for you. If you're a good person always going out of your way for people, lots of people "owe" you a kind favour and it comes back to you.
It's a slight tendency in those directions. Absolute bastards still win the lottery and live incredibly wonderful lives, Nice people die of cancer early. Karma is bullshit for fools, eastern religious replacement of our belief in a literal hell.

Unless you have been given title to it, I doubt very much that you have any claim to title. even if you have a deed to it, unless the legal owner gave it to you, you won't have anything of value.

This is lawyer land you have started to tread in..

Modest home, japanese influenced. Open plan living tastefully decorated. Northerly aspect, rich soil perfect for the green thumb or suit agoraphobic.

well thanks to everyone for the support and the guidance.

This matter has been resolved with my notary and that the seller will pay for all the notay fee's incured.

To give another background on this, the original sellers actually knew about this error in 2001 but failed to tell us. They have also delayed into giving back our contract of sales. Fuckers wanted to delay giving it to us coz they wanted us to pay for the taxes and such.

For those who cry about me stealing homes, it was a 6plex, one of 10 that they own.

Tell the original owner that you would normally sell it back to him for $400k. However, you're running a Holiday special, and he can buy it back for the low low price of $1.00.

Then smile, and say "Happy Holidays!".

:Graucho

You make $1.00 that you didn't have before, and he gets his house back. It's a Win Win situation.
:2 cents:

Karma = bullshit.
Consequences = real.
Insurance fraud = illegal and raises everybody elses insurance premiums (notice thousands of doctors giving up on their careers, or maybe the astronomical rates of car insurance today?).

Wanna become rich? Take the higher path, provide a valuable service/product to people who feel it is a good exchange for their money/time, and surround yourself with similar-minded people. That's the business model for lasting wealth.
