Buying property
Buying property
I am trying to purchase some land and the owners own 1 acre and there is 10 other acers that they have paid the land taxes on for 50 yrs but the deed is in her deceased father in laws name. When we went to purchase the land we found out that they only had the deed for 1 acre. My question is can we buy the property from them? They seem to think so since they have paid the taxes for so long. Thank you

Hi jmclark!
Welcome to forums!
They will have to change the property deed in their name and remove the deceased father-in-law from their property deed. Once the property is transferred in their names, then you can purchase the property from them.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
