Q: hi what kind of lawyer can help with getting a land deed into my name ?
The land is in Atascosa County and should be in my mother's name and other siblings , but i found out it is in my aunts and cousin names. The property was known as the Arthur Gamble survey and was initially in my great grandfathers name, Mauricio Sanchez. Then he passed away and the siblings never knew until years later that he owned this land. We found out because Cinco Natural Resources and now I think it s Atlas Energy LLC contract this land . My cousin put herself in charge of this land and which should be under my moms name . It is deeded to my cousin and my moms sister .Shouldnt the property be under all of our names , which include the children of my mom and other cousins or the wives of the uncles ?
A: I suggest meeting with a probate attorney who is familiar with real estate to review the documents in person. Land transfers to heirs if there is no will. It would not be in every single person's name, only those living and descendants of those that were living at his death and later died. It can get a bit complicated which is why I suggest meeting with someone.
A: Look for a probate attorney in the county in which your father passed. If it was in Atascosa County then that is the best place to begin your search for the attorney.
