Can I go to a title company and will they straighten it out?

It sounds to me that your dad may have bought the acreage on a contract for deed but neglected to record the deed when he finished paying for it. In that type of sale, the original owner holds the title until the contract is completed, I.e., paid off, then the deed is transferred. You need to talk to an attorney who specializes in real estate in that state.

Thanks for the info.
