I guess one of Frank's "children" stopped by for a visit.
Frank Melton died? Geesh I need to read Jackson news more often.... being in Hattiesburg has gotten me out of the loop.
Nice to see the CL caught up with JJ. We discussed this last month when I started posting the crime stats.
It is not unusual for a copy of a death cert. to be filed subsequent to a titleholder's death, attached to whatever docs are being filed that attach to the property. In fact, it is standard procedure. This is done to explain what happened to the titleholder, instead of having it appear they simply "disappeared" from title.
Did you happen to check the vesting deed on the property while you were there? Did he hold title as joint tenants with his wife, or was he shown as sole owner? Has his estate been opened, will probated, etc.? That is generally done in the county where the person died and had established residency. If his wife has obtained or refi'ed a mortgage on the property already, I would think she's either already on title, or the estate has been opened and she is acting on behalf of same.
Hope she can sort out some of that murky looking financing. RIP Frank.
She was on the note and title. If you look at the earlier post, you will see a scan of the deed of trust. I know how it works, I just explained it was attached to deed of trust so no one thought I got it through unethical means.
