Attaining a Title Deed or Quiet Title.

Jay Paul Jenkins
Posted

This property was in my family from homestead times.  It passed from my Great Grandfather to His daughter.  She died intestate. Then her Husband died intestate.  They had 2 sons who had both died childless prior to their deaths.  The husband died last intestate in 2008.  The taxes went unpaid and the State of Alabama aquired the property in 2011.  I bought it from the state in 2016.  I have had it 4 years.  It's vacant and uncontested.  Based on what I have found I should have a clear title.  I don't have money to pay a lawyer.  What do I do?

@Jay Paul Jenkins@Steve Morris, @Peter Walther, Alabama tax sales law is PHENOMENALLY complicated. There is no shortcut or easy answer to Jay Paul Jenkins' question. The advice I gave is the right advice.
