Heir Land was sold without family consent without real estate assessment and without right of way. Current owners are trying to sell land but have not been successful. As a family will we need to go to County first to assess where land boundaries are before we present an offer
A:
You have provided a minimal statement of fact but no question. I'm not sure what you want to know.
If you came to my office I'd want to know how the land was sold and by whom, if it wasn't sold by the family. I'd probably then want a title examination to cover ownership to when the family first owned the property. This stuff can be complicated - an experienced real estate lawyer should be consulted.
A: That isn’t a question, but I’ll give you an answer: You need a lawyer. Your short statement proves you do not understand what you need to do. For starters, there is no such thing as Heir Land. The problems get worse from there. Someone who thinks they own some interest in the land needs to retain a lawyer to define the problems and develop a plan.
