Can someone sell a mobile home to someone for cash never give them the titles then turn around 3 years later and resell that same mobile home and the land that the mobile home sits on?

Answer 1

For clarification, you purchased a mobile home on someones property, then either leased or rented the land underneath the home. Anyway you cut it you have been a victim of fraud and should take legal if not criminal action against the person that sold you the home.

There can be only be two scenarios at the time of sale, either the home has a title, possible two if the home is a double wide or the home is attached to the land by way of deed and the home is considered real property.

If the home is titled, the Seller should have presented you with the titles to the home after payment. Which you should have taken down to your local county or DMV to transfer title into your name. By selling you a titled home and not giving you the titles, the Seller(s) have committed fraud.

If the home and land are combined by way of deed, then the Seller(s) sold you a home fraudulently, as the Seller(s) cannot sell only the home unless it is titled.

I would first call the county tax assessor and find out if the home is titled or deeded. My next call would be to local law enforcement, then an attorney.
