Blindsided Tax Sale
I live in the state of Georgia, (middle Georgia region) and my family has property that was inherited to us from my Grandmother's passing. However 2 peices of land went up for auction over the past year and and a half. For once peice of land, none of the heirs were notified and for the 2nd peice of land, their was a situation where one of my uncles tried to put the bundle it in a real estate deal unbeknownst to the rest of the family, he intentionally didn't pay taxes on it bcause he felt like it was worthless, but it was sold and now im being told that hes mad about 🙄. We were told from the county that because it (the property deal my uncle elected himself to take part of) was a judicial sale (which i never heard of) , that we only had two months to redeem it back instead of the standard one year time frame for most tax sales. My sister inquired about it with the county and was told that the issue of notification should be taken up with the lawfirm that was incharge of sending out the notices but I feel like the county is just as culpable since they relied on the lawyers. So I just want to know is their grounds to bring about a lawsuit towards both the buyers and county?
Also when it comes to notices, Only my uncle knew about one of them due to him trying to sale it with another property, however no official typed notices were sent out to rest of the heirs regarding that property and another peice of land that was auctioned off recently which my uncle claim he had just paid on last year.
