Hope they have Title Insurance with a Market Value Rider.
Why doesn't adverse possession apply here? The original agreement is certainly old enough.
EXPLAIN HOW THAT WOULD BE USEFUL?
Let's see if they have title insurance and whether, in fact, it protects their investment. I can't believe a title insurance carrier would not limit it's liability to some amount related to the original purchase price.
wont get them 885K it will only get them what they spent on the house..
