I’ve handled a bunch of three, and they are fun cases, but that’s from the lawyers’ perspective. First, there is no such thing as “heir property.”  The term is a byproduct of the Jim Criw South and a pun on the word “air” indicating that title is “in the air. Correcting it is a skill-intensive mess quieting title lost in generations of relying upon operation of law. The correct petition is either a Complaint to Quiet Title or a Declaratory Judgment, and the legal work usually needs to be financed by a prospective developer by selling the property after clearing title. The longer you wait to fix it, the more expensive it will get, and, frequently, the problem is so expensive that the heirs give up and lose. But, occasionally you might get a discount from an experienced  real estate lawyer, because the cases are fun and getting rare.
