A: Hire a GA attorney to search the title and determine either the owner or heirship of the Father. Taxes are important here also.
A: Here in California there are several avenues to determine the owner of real estate. The fastest manner to determine ownership of real estate in California is to contact the Assessors Office in the county the property is located and provide a combination of address, APN or past owner. You can also consult the Grantor/Grantee Index maintained by the County Clerk/Assessor where the property is located. This takes a little more effort but provides for another avenue.
