Initially you must search the title as apparently you have no knowledge of the title. And I would also search under the alleged easement grantor's name to see if there is any record of him having an interest in your land. If nothing legitimate shows an easement granted, then a lawsuit is... View More

Intestate Succession may determine the heirs which own the property. Hire an attorney to search the title and determine heirship. An affidavit or a probate may be required. You will not be able to do this without a competent OK attorney, Hopefully a quiet title action will not be needed.
Moving in it I was not aware of it getting sold for back taxes haw can I get what is left after it sold it sold for only 13800 it was worth a lot more there's 80 000 left after sale haw do I redeem that

If the home was sold for back taxes you, as an heir, may be able to claim your share of the excess funds. This may require identifying the other heirs, if any. Due to the amount there may be the need for a probate case to clear things up.
