i hate to say it, but.. 1) state dept of RE  2) lawyer  3) call hillary she knows the people at chase

This sounds like something you better turn over to an attorney.

Who handled escrow for this transaction?  

A real estate attorney would be the one to go to for an action to Quiet Title.

Might have to check with the DMV.

Every state is different, but in Missouri you can go to DMV and apply for lost title.  Just take all the docs from the title company with her and a copy of her homeowners insurance w real estate tax receipt for prior year.

Sounds like real estate attorney time unfortunately

I woudl say she needs a lawyer. There is a way to fild for petition of quiet title and the lawyer can assist

I would do the lawyer thing myself

Rose Mary Justice - I am sure something is recorded somewhere...

Looks like a challenge for you - and with some options from other answers, I think  you'll be able to do it...

Here in California, she can get in touch with the Department of Housing and Community Development, get bonded for 3 years, and sign some forms on which she gives the history of the transaction, get tax clearance. For the bond, she will need a copy of the check and whatever she has when she purchased it. 

She purchased the home in 2006? Find out the title company asap! That is a great start. Then, who was her Realtor? Some don't discard records after three years. Never know.

If she cannot afford an attorney, let me know... I have helped translate in so many cases and will be gladly to help. 949.310.4960

Sounds like you need a good real estate attorney. Is this land with a trailer sitting on it?

Sounds like if they have title insurance, it will be an easy fix. 

Get an attorney and file suit to quiet title with a request that Chase pay the attorney fees! Eyes will open as charges rise!

Sounds like your toast.

hire an attorney .....

Rose Mary Justice Like a car title, the bank is responsible for holding the title. The fact they can't find a record of it is their problem. As already stated here, it is time to turn it over to an attorney.

Get an attorney.

That does not sound good. Search a legal help is probably the only option... 

 What does the attorney say?  I think the mobile home can be scrapped... sell the rest.

Did she get title insurance? You might try contacting Chase and seeing if they will release the title or let the title insurance attorney do it.

If it's a mobile home you may find the answer at the DMV.

Find an attorney ASAP.  She's going to need one to right this situation.

Lawyers.  Banks are difficult at best to work with.

Chase isn't going to help.   That is an issue that needed to be addressed when purchased...unfortunately

This sounds like a mess. Perhaps a title comany can help?

I think your seller needs to talk with an attorney. 

As others have suggested and I agree, it's time for legal counsel.   I'm sure the media might have a field day with this too.  

Suggest client and their attny go see a local judge with the paperwork that you do have and the note from Chase stating that they are not interested in the mobile home.

parked and reading...

There is a way but not to be discussed here is one answer. Another? Is there title insurance? What does escrow have to say about this? Their records? Lastly...track down the pre-foreclosure owner and offer up some incentives

Title search, attorney, etc

I'm not sure of the wording here. You can't foreclose on a mobile home. How can you buy something with no title getting transferred?

You need an attorney ASAP.

A good reason to have title insurance.
