    How to clear a title after a tax sale
    I bought a PC of property 9 years ago. Never bothered to clear it. What do I do next. I do not want to pay an attorney. How can I do it myself. Kate

    Hire a Title company. But if you bought a property at a tax sale, the county or taxing distrivt should have conveyed title or told you how to get it.

    If you bought it 9 years ago, there may be title companies who will insure the title since it's been so long.

    Otherwise you'll have to do a quiet title. I'm an experienced tax sale investor, and even I don't do my own quiet titles. It's just not worth the effort when a lawyer in my area will do it for $500 or so.

    One final option, if the title co won't insure, is to contact taxtitleservices.com, they specialize in insuring tax sale properties without a quiet title, albeit at a higher expense.
