Tax Lein Issue How to Purchase?

[Thomas Weidner]

I would like to ask a question dealing with tax sales in Texas. There is a property adjacent to a property I own that has a inhabitable home on it. It is still in a deceased woman’s name and the tax’s have not been paid in about 8 years. She had 2 children but neither has changed it into there name or paid the tax’s. How far back does heirship go back to take possession of the property and pay the tax’s? (Grandchildren,great grand, etc) What would the process be to purchase this property?

@Thomas Weidner Get the 2 children to sign Quit Claim deeds. Offer them a couple hundred dollars each for their time to sign these. Then pay back taxes, fix it up and rent it for ever.
