Was the mortgage ever recorded? When you say "legal mortgage" what do you mean? Was there a written agreement? Why did you never collect any money? What were the terms? It is not possible to answer the question without this additional information. If the terms required monthly payments, and you did not collect for 22 years, there could be a very legitimate argument that you "waived" payment. However, if the terms say you collect upon sale or some other condition you may be able to collect.
