Things I am dealing with !

if title co. did your search, contact them. if not, contact a good Jew lawyer.

if needed, my cousins in Ga that were the bad guys on "Deliverance" can be hired.

but seriously, you can go to your county's recorders office and research all the details of the property. from my days back with Farm Credit Services, (decades back, ) if there was a lein on the original owners property, ( that you bought from), he must have had his lein holder issue a " release" of your parcel, and this should have been recorded in co. office. then of course, if he sold it to you, a warranty deed in your name. that put the pproperty lrgally in your name, and if $$ borrowed from that point on, all would have been recorded and when paid off, release recorded also?????
and hire Saul!!!!????
hope all turns out as it should!!!!
