The mortgagee would be the lender. Are you saying you don't recognize the lender?

Re: Tax Sale Certificate Help!!!

Is it possible there were unpaid real estate taxes on the property?

 

In some states, the taxing authority can sell a tax sale certificate (usually at auction).  The buyer acquires the right to, by following certain procedures, obtain title to your property.  In other states the jurisdiction simply conducts a "tax sale" of the property.

 

You may have limited rights to redeem the property from the buyer of the tx certificate.  You need to put a priority on looking into this, and may need a real estate attorney.
