Property Deed Dispute Guidance

Summary

Organizing a property deed dispute binder involves compiling original deeds, TODD, wills, emails, complaints, surety bond claims, texts, and expenses. For court filings, include complaints, summons, evidence, witness info, and legal research. In Texas, file a complaint for declaratory judgment to address TODD discrepancies. A declaratory judgment clarifies legal rights and obligations, determining deed validity and ownership. Suspected notary misconduct can be addressed by filing a complaint with the Indiana Secretary of State, consulting an attorney, and gathering evidence.
