Am I getting riped off
My wife and I bought a house on a contract for deed. The person that set up the deal is a ”middle man” between the home owner and me.Things were ok untill my wife and i found out that the ”middle man” is in jail for two felony counts of fraud. My wife and I contacted the home owner and was in the prosses of cutting the middle guy out. He has two of my titles and 2000 dollars that was to go for a down payment. Two weeks after this all took place the home owner passed away. The kids of the owner say that they will honer any agreement that the dad and i have and dont want anything to do with the middle guy. Am I entitled to my money and titles back from the middle guy? Also the middle guy was charging me $89 per month for insurance and taxes. When talking to the children, they told me that their father had paid the taxes and insurance a year in advance so the middle guy is just taking the money and puting it in his pocket. Is that some kind of theft, and can i file any charges?
