Q: My boyfriend owned land in NC left no will deed In his name only. The children do not want the land or pay the delinquen
My boyfriend owned land in NC left no will. The deed In his name only. I have talked to the children and they do not want the land or pay the delinquent taxes due? The city is going to foreclose on the land. If they are willing to gift or sell the land to me what do I need to do to own the land?
A: You need a deed from all the children and their spouses, and to pay the back taxes, probably to both the city and county. Any NC lawyer can draw up the deed, but it would be advisable to get one more local to ensure that foreclosure proceedings haven't been initiated.
