Subject: [MDCHARLE] Deed information "why the selling and then repurchasing of the same tract"?
Lists,
I've been going thru land deeds and had noticed that there were times when a person was selling a tract in one deed, and immediately following the selling of the land, the seller purchased the same land back from the person he sold it too for the same amount of money. I finally found an answer as to why this type of transaction was done. And it is another good tool to have when trying to trace land thru families. I wanted to pass this bit of info on as I think it sheds new light on how we can do our research.
