The place burned down this past september, and the insurance company won't pay me the remaining balance owed to me because i don't have the title to the place. i did some homework and discovered that the park actually financed to me a mobile home with someone else's name on the title! the park says that they will file for a title but that was back over 8 weeks ago. do i have grounds for a lawsuit? i have heard that a mobile home was similar to a car; when you get it, the title comes shortly. i never saw the title to mine. all i have as proof of ownership is the contract. is this illegal? should i hire an attorney?

if they already filed the title work, then you can go to the DMV and request a duplicate title. it may take some paperwork and some money, but they should be able to produce it for you. if they DIDNT file the title work to have you listed as owner, they are in default of a contract to you. ask for copies of ALL the paperwork from the park office FIRST, before raising a huge commotion. You want that paperwork first, so you can see what the contract says exactly. Chances are, an attorney will get you there a lot faster and probably get a positive result. good luck!

It really depends on the sum we're talking about. Is this a considerable amount? Litigation on its own is costly, so unless you have a reasonable amount to sue for, then it's not worth it.
In any case, this sounds like legal action is required to take it any further.
