Please explain how they may have forfeited their claim on the property.
They were made aware and sent a copy of the quit claim deed transfer when I got my copy of it.

A mortgage is a lien against a property. A lien means that the property can't be transferred without the lien being satisfied. So if the property was transferred their lien may no longer be valid.

That's why you need a lawyer who knows the local laws and can get creative.

Interesting. Thank you

What it means is that, if the property is transferred, it is still be subject to the lien. Normally, when it is sold the buyer will refuse to accept it unless the lien is satisfied. A transfer normally wouldn't invalidate the lien, but normally wouldn't happen unless the lien is satisfied.
