Q: I have a property I would like to purchase but is having a hard time getting the tax sale purchase to sale
At the time of the auction the owner had died and her heirs wasn't aware of the sale but is willing to sale to me but can't because the tax sale has 100% but hasn't quiet the title.I have offered him cash and still won't sale he doesn't live in state and the property is now going up for a tax sale he is not even keeping up with the property what can I do?
A: If this property is in Louisiana and you are not in Louisiana and this property is going up for a tax sale, then I strongly recommend that you contact and hire a Louisiana real estate attorney practicing in the local jurisdiction where the tax sale is being held so that you can make sure that all of your rights and remedies are protected. If this property is important enough to you, then please do not short change yourself at this time with a pending tax sale. Good luck.
