Was there a will? If not the laws may vary from state to state and you should seek an attorney for counsel

Welcome ashivia_lancaster.

Is there any will that your mother in law left? If not then the property will be distributed among the heirs according to the Intestate Succession Law in your County. So contact with an attorney as brain has mentioned above.

does wife whose name did not appear on the deed have the same legal rights as the children. If wife has certain rights==can she give those rights to one of the children who is an heir without giving any notice to the other remaining heirs.

Hi

If the wife isn't on the deed to the property, she cannot have any rights to it. Is it a community property?

grandparents had land and 12 kids. all died except 3. my mother is among deceased. I was told granddad set it up as heir property. ONE living aunt put land up as bond for her grandson without any of the other heirs knowing. is that legal and if he doesn't show up for court can our land be taken from us.

Hi upset,

Did your granddad leave any will which states it is an heir property and all the heirs have an equal right to it? If there is any such will or if other heirs are listed on the title, your aunt does not have any right to put the land up as bond without informing other heirs. I think you need to consult a real estate lawyer in this situation as he is the right person to guide you in this matter.

My grandfather died years ago leaving a will that left out his oldest son's children(which is my father). My grandfather had three children. My grandfather specifically, and purposely left out my father, and any of his children, but included his two other children, and their off spring. My father and mother took care of my grandfather during the latter years of his life. My father filed a lien (which is on file in the court house)on the house, requesting $16,000 in back pay for all the money he has put into the home, and various other expenses he accured during the time period. I personally have been paying the taxes on the property since my father's death. Do I have any rights concerning this property?

My grandmother left her home to her 4 children. One of my aunts has been living and paying taxes on the home since my grandmother passed over 15 years ago. Everyone (other 2 siblings) wants my aunt to put the deed in her name except on sibling. Since my aunt has been paying taxes and living in the house since my grandmother passed, doesn't she have the right to put the deed in her name? What steps would she need to take to get this done?

Hi fariel,

I do not understand why you have been paying the property taxes. The one who is on the title should be paying it. From what you have mentioned, I believe you are not listed on the title to the property. In that case, you are not a legal owner of the property and have no legal right to it. Hence, you are not liable to pay the property taxes.

Hi DQ,

Who are currently listed on the title to the property? If your other aunts do not want the property and wants the aunt, presently living in it, to have the title in her name, they can sign a quit claim deed and transfer their share of the ownership to her. Once the transfer is complete, your aunt can record the deed in county recorders office and get the title in her name.

My father had been paying property taxes on his father's and stepmother's property for years. They are both deceased. My father (up in age) never had the deed changed. There was never a will done. My grandparents names are still on the deed. My father now is deceased along with all his siblings. I have been paying the property taxes for the last five years. What do I need to do? Is ths considered heir property?

Hi Juanita!

Welcome to forums!

You need to file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name.

several years ago, I purchased a part of a landlot which had previously belonged to my great-grandfather. Since my great-grandfather's ownership, there were two other owners. However, during the closing on my property, it was discovered that there was no record of the property being sold to the person who took possession of the land after my great-grandfather. This lack of a deed corroborates what has been family legend. If there is no legal proof that my great -grandfather sold the land, what right to the land does the family have?

Hi Guest,

If the person, who bought the property, did not record the deed at the county recorder's office, then there won't be any record of the property transfer. You should consult a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter.

Thanks,
