Q: I am an heir to the property in Georgia that my father owned. Now homes are built upon this property.What's my next step
My cousins were living on the property as I had been informed.No one sent any information about lumber being sold. I want to know if it is Heir property, should all of his children be notified of this occurrence!
Are we able to retrieve what has been taken without the proper procedure!?
This has been a burden to me because I did not know what are where I should go.
So I decided that I needed someone profound in what is sufficient to help me resolve this issue.
Please at your earliest convenience,please notify me.
I shall anticipate your answer soon.
Thank You!!

A: Initially hire a GA attorney to investigate the real properties. At least a title search is required, possibly looking at a probate file or other Court records. If no will, then probably Father's heirs own property, which may include you. Determine heirship and thus owners as tenants in common. Each TIC can build on the property but all TIC's own it as improved. A claim for the timber income from the other TIC's can be made. Taxes have to be paid by someone. A possible suit for Quiet Title or a Sale For Partition may be necessary. Contact a GA attorney here on Justia to start with.
