My Family Was Evicted from a Home We Owned

[Antonae]

My question involves an eviction in the state of: WA

In the summer of 2005, my family was evicted from a mobile home we owned but rented the land it was on. A few years later, we found out it had been sold to someone without any signatures from the proper owners of the property, which would be my aunt and my mother. We have found documents in public records that list my aunt and mom on an Excise Affidavit. The first Excise Affidavit, dated in February 2006, has my aunt and my mother listed as the registered owners, and the new "buyers" as the legal owners. It has a person named O'Donnell listed at the Grantor/Agent but the name is no where else in any of the documents. The second Excise Affidavit has the name of the mobile home park we were renting land from, listed as the registered owner, and the signature of the present buyers of the property as the Grantor/Agent, which is neither my aunt nor my mother.

The Snohomish County Assessor public records on their website says that in February of 2006, my aunt and mother sold the home to the new buyers for $30,000, but we did not. Then in May of 2006 it claims the mobile home park where the home is located, bought it from us, for nothing, then turned around and sold it to the new buyers for nothing. My aunt nor my mother never signed any sort of document approving the sale. If any signatures are present on the deed for the property or any other documents approving the sale that claim to be my aunt or my mom's signatures, but are forged, do we have any right to the property still? Does it mean we still legally own the property because the documents were forged? Do we have grounds to sue the mobile home park for the money for the sale too and have the right to inhabit the home?

So, basically, your family was renting a lot, your family was evicted in 2005, your family chose to abandon the manufactured home, it was subsequently sold and now, six years after abandoning the home and five years after the sale, you are trying to recover money from the sale?

Check the actual chain of title for the transfer and let us know what it says. The website records appear to be incorrect.

We did not abandon the home. We were forced to leave. The locks were changed and we were not allowed entry without a manager of the mobile home park present. We returned twice to recover our belongings. There were no grounds to evict us. The rent was paid, the mortgage was long over with, we were just behind on state taxes, for the home itself, not the property it was on. We are just trying to figure out if we still have legal claim to the property if the documents used to make the sale are fraudulent.

I was trying to figure out what exactly the documents that are on the internet are,it says it is an Excise Affidavit, but top of the documents where it should be stated what they are, are stamped up, covered up, and have bar codes on them due to processing the paperwork. I looked up paperwork that also used the phrases, Grantor/Agent and Grantee and a process called a quitclaim deed came up. It states that if the documents are a quitclaim deed, we have no legal rights to the property because we did not appeal it in the time allotted before the documents were filled, but we were never notified nor did we ever sign a single document for the property.

I have no idea where I would find the chain of title information. If the website records appear to be incorrect, is it possible that they are just fraudulent all together? The documents were all scanned and uploaded onto the website. I have not been able to locate the deed of sale in any county records on the internet.
