I bought a piece of land from someone. This person buys land, resells them to people who cannot get traditional financing. So, the deal is, he doesn't check credit or job references, but hangs onto the deed until it is paid in full. There is a contract between him and the buyer as proof of ownership. He allows development on the land without exception.
Now here is the deal. He has so much going on, that he accidentally sold my lot. He meant to sell a different lot. I am currently not using the land as it is for retirement.
The land is now in the new owner's name on the deed.
Is this sale legal? Can I sue/win that he had no right to sell my land?
What would the process be to do so? What court?
This is a sale between someone who lives in AZ, bought in HI, and the owner is in TX. So, wouldn't even know where to begin.
He is offering another lot-which is not acceptable to me or to refund my payments. The land is worth more now than I bought it for-so wouldn't cancel.
Lawyers?
