>> Okay. Father. >> Okay. And if you would both state your names when you start to testify. Who's going to go first? >> My name is Sandra Combmes. >> Okay. >> All right. And Miss Combmes, if you'd like to tell me um your side of the story and what you would like like me to
know. I thought the house was still owned by the pro from it's a finance company. >> Okay. So the my understanding is from the testimony of officer Strong, he was informed that a neighboring property was actually the property that was uh uh
foreclosed on by by the finance company. No >> has a >> that was paid off. >> Okay. >> The land that was behind it was completely paid off. Okay. >> The home was still mortgage. >> Okay. >> I'm sorry. I'm Sarah Smith. on the grand. >> Thank you. And Miss Smith, is there
currently a foreclosure uh process being had upon the property? >> Well, the mortgage company sold or tried to sell the property >> and the people that bought it painted it. >> Did they go they >> It was taken out because there was an
address issue. >> Okay. Let me ask you, has there been a probate filed on No. Okay. >> No, we just let it. >> Okay. So, well, the somebody had would have had to have filed a for a probate in order for the foreclosure to be fi
finalized. Do you have a case number for the foreclosure? >> Uh, do you know the name of the finance company? >> It's a select portfolio servicing. They wouldn't give me any information because I my name wasn't tied to
>> and they couldn't because you weren't the u personal representative or your name was under for fair credit law. Um is there any is there any other property under your father's estate? >> Just just those two. Well, apparently uh
they have not foreclosed. So, it's still the estate's responsibility at this time uh to do something. Uh, of course, um, if it is going to be in foreclosure, you know, that's what I would suggest that you do is I'll give a certain
amount of time for you to either correct the violation or show to officer Strong what's going on into the city what's going on with the property regarding the foreclosure. Well, the the you'll need to somebody will need to check and see if there's a
foreclosure case filed. They can't because your dad is deceased. There's nobody to sign over the house to to do a deed in L without a probate being filed. So, the house could not have been sold unless there was a foreclosure case
where they filed against your dad's estate. Now, if they started the foreclosure before he died, it could still be in his name. But at some point in time, in order to settle that case, in order for a ruling to be had on that case, somebody would have to do a
probate on your dad's estate. Now, the creditor select could do what's called a forced probate. However, they have to file that in order to get a final judgment so that they could sell the property. So obviously >> you received a letter stating that they
couldn't because there was an issue with the address and you think it's because they were trying to add the address app to the home which they were separate. >> Okay. If you'll provide that a copy of that letter to officer Strong that gives him something to deal with the um
>> the um Walton County Appraisers office indicated that the two parcels one with the house on and there was a larger parcel behind it. When I went to the property appraisers office, that's the one that actually showed that the clerk courts actually
sold it off in in a foreclosure. Was it a foreclosure or was it a tax deed? >> I believe it was foreclosure. >> Yeah. >> Did the house Did the house have a mortgage on or something? >> Oh, the house does. Yes, >> the house has a mortgage on it,
>> but the property behind it. it was >> well you personally won't have any liability for this because it's in the it would be either in the estate or the foreclosure process but we still will need to move forward because of the existing conditions. Now the the uh bank
will not own the car and was there a will involved? Did your dad have a will? >> He did. It was a stupid will. There's seven children and three of the children live up north in Massachusetts. are the three that are the
um >> heirs. >> What? >> The heirs? >> No, no, no. They're all heirs, but they three of them had say on what happens. >> Okay. What you can do with the car because the bank won't care about the car. And of course, again, it's in the name of the estate. So, it doesn't
affect you personally, but it may have some value to you, sentimental or otherwise. Uh you can take his will along with the death certificate to property appraisers. I mean the tax collector's office, Rhonda Skipper's office, and they may be able to change the title over to the heir's names, and
that way you'll have authority to move it or to sell it to do something with dispose of the car in order to give you some money to help with this matter. That's just >> it's already I think the car is already in an air's name. >> Okay. Well, you might want to notify
that heir that it's going to be uh that car will be >> Yeah. will be and and quite frankly they can call a a tow company and they'll pick it up and they will um they'll they can turn around and sell it for like 800 bucks. So they usually tow it for free
if it's an abandoned vehicle. >> So those are just some options for you. >> Okay. I can't give you legal advice and I would encourage you to talk to an attorney, but you personally really aren't going to have any liability on this issue. >> Okay. Right.
>> So, back in 2023, the large parcel was actually sold by the clerk court. >> Okay. And does it say what it was, how it was sold? Um, can you go to the uh booking page? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay. That'll tell us if it was a tax
deed or if it was a foreclosure deed. Let's scroll back up to the top. So, it looks like it was a foreclosure. Okay. So, it would have been a foreclosure deed, >> but for some reason they did not do >> the house
>> the property with the house on it. >> Huh. Well, that's um that's interesting how they got they were able to do the foreclosure without having a um because they have nobody to serve. >> Okay. >> That one that one stays in the Smith thing. >> Yeah.
>> So, what do I do with that? Um, I would speak to an attorney who who who who specializes in land matters because it may have been an improper case. You may be able to reverse it, but you do have a very strict time limit on that reversal.
>> So, it could be that the foreclosure is overturned and if they didn't properly serve it, they should have filed uh they should have filed for a uh probate, a force pro a creditor probate >> in order to do it properly. And unless
that was done, then that may not have been. Now, it may have been done and we're just not seeing it here. And it's not our position to find that out. >> You could get a lawyer to do that or you can go to the clerk of court and ask them if a probate was ever filed on behalf of your dad in your dad's name. >> Okay.
>> All right. Thank you, ladies. Anything else you'd like me to know? >> No. I think that's it. >> All right. I I appreciate you being here today and I appreciate your testimony. I do accept your testimony into the record and if you will hold, I will issue an order. Again, this order isn't going to financially affect you personally. It'll
only affect the estate or the current owner if it's a true owner of the bank. So, just just so you know that. So, >> hopefully that'll save you from some stress. And I do I do um offer my deepest sympathies for the loss of your father and your grandfather. You're
welcome. And um I am going to be granting the code enforcement officer the authority to extend the 90 days upon assuring a good faith effort by whoever the owner is at the time. We'll find out. >> Okay.
Y'all looking me up today, aren't you? That's good, though. >> If you want to call the case, uh, call the halls for the next case, please. >> Well, for the next case, which is a compliance case, >> right? >> Um, I've talked to Mr. Robert Johnson
and he's kind of requesting a he wants to um go ahead and do the application for a lean reduction next week. Go ahead and do everything and then we'll bring it back forth and have a straight after all the fines have been paid and >> instead of doing it a third time.
>> Okay. Has the uh has have the fines been issued and put and a lean put on the property yet? >> That's what we were going to do today. Okay. >> But um he knows that there's roughly $29,000. Okay. >> If y'all settle it, then you just bring it to me for an order to be issued.
>> Probably just continuous for next month, April. >> Mr. City Manager, do you have an issue with uh giving an extension on the on the case until the next uh next court docket? >> No. >> Okay. Very good. All right. We'll do that then. We'll I'll issue a continuence on this case to be brought

of the trust document to see if he is a successor trustee or has been appointed? >> Not. >> Okay. So, we don't know if he's actually the successor. >> No. The documentation I saw where he had signed as though um under it as the trust. So, >> so he's presenting himself as the
successor trustee. Okay. Um that being said, her other properties, how many properties does a trust own? Do you know? >> 14 15 probably. >> Okay. Well, that then yeah, are we is the city looking to abate this property
or to foreclose on the property? >> So, we have the um is there is there? >> It looks like it. >> I don't know. That would be the only the only the only problem with abatement is we do have the agreement with CRA on B
we bring in here but we've kind of we've puted the policy in a place in the council in place where has to meet certain criteria. It's got to be vacant. It's got to be there's a couple things. So I don't know this will meet those criteria. So probably be forcloed. We have not forced on anything at this
point. So >> is anyone is anyone discussing u a need and loo with the property owner with the trust to >> we have not yet but that may be something maybe after this next week when CRA convenes hopefully we'll be
able to maybe they the CRA can reach out to some of these properties and maybe purchase them. Yeah, because all 14 of the properties are subject to the lean. And if if I'm remember correct, we do have leans on two other properties already and and also have had um
fines acrewed and then continue to acrue. So maybe we can get that something done with that because those are um you know those are properties that are they're just basically being abandoned and something needs to be done with. >> I know of I want to say three other properties that that we have linked on.
Yeah, >> due to code violations. >> Okay, very good. I I just wanted to kind of know what we had planned for it because those are uh that looked like it had some attractive nuisance issues with it with all the junk and debris. So there could be a safety issue for children
to the you mentioned something about the sun represent. >> No, I have not been able to like contact or email because I wanted to say he at one time was living in Georgia. >> Yeah. think we get a list of all the
properties that fall in the state. >> I can let's do that and maybe stick them on map. We see we make contact and start negotiating with >> Yeah. >> who we assume to be over the state, >> right? U Yeah. And and the city attorney
is very well equipped to handle those issues and to tell you exactly how to get it done. But it seems to me that that's a that this is a case where she's not going to get any better. and you know it it's not going to be detrimental to her for the city to pursue but the city need you know it would be within
our orders and within the uh code in order to enforce this to bring them back up to code for safety issues. Okay, very good. Thank you. Uh anyone here to testify on behalf of the um trust of revocical trust of Dorisel Johnson hearing none and seeing none I will
