Q: If a piece of property that their is no heir the taxes hasn't been paid in 3 years and a squatter that has put the prope
In a 19000 dollars for code violations and leins on it can I pay the back taxes and a quick claim and eviction notice on the squatter
A: The legal documents would need to be reviewed to give you an exact answer, but it seems that you would need to purchase the property at tax deed sale. After you became the owner, you could file an action against the squatter. It doesn't sound like it, but you will want to be careful the squatter didn't obtain legal rights by virtue of their possession of the property.
Andy Wayne Williamson agrees with this answer
A:
You need to provide some information.
Who owns the property?
How did the squatter come into possession?
What is your relationship to the property?
What are the code violations for?
