"free and clear ownership" before land patent?
Yes. As far as I know you can still patent your land because the mortgage only encumbres the "REAL ESTATE" which is everything above the land.
Land itself cannot be bought, sold or encumbered.
Note: the title of the tread, "Free and clear ownership" is a bit misleading in that a Land Patent doesn't free you from any implied obligation of a mortgage. You need to attack <u>that</u> fraud separately.
