Have Tax Deed to an Abandoned Property, What's Next?
First time tax deed holder here, I recently purchased a tax deed to a property from the State of Alabama. There is a abandoned house on the property. Is there a certain period before I can access the property? Can I enter the home? Can I cut the grass and trim the hedges? What are my next steps in getting a title for the house?
Thank you,

If abandoned, can take possession immediately unless tax sale was void. Void tax sales happen when auction name is not name of real owner. Example include real owner died before auction or got foreclosed on or sold before auction. I am THE expert on Alabama tax sales. Happy to provide answers to other questions if needed.
