Our goal would be to have a deed that lists each of our... View More

Hire a GA attorney to offer various estates that you and Father would want. Then have him draft a deed to execute. Right now you are confused. And remember taxes have to be paid even if many tenants in common are owners.

Also can the land office tax you for a house on open property and change status of farm to residence without your approval?

Yes, the tax commissioner can sell the property for past due taxes. If the sale has occurred, you still may be able to redeem the property by paying the past due amount plus interest, fees, etc. You may also be able to recover money from the tax sale. If a house was built on the property, the... View More

Not sure what a full LE is. Nor why you would worry about it being in a contract. What counts is what estate is conveyed in the DEED. Have you read the Deed? You need to hire a GA attorney to at least explain the Deed to you, and possibly search the title. Then he might advise to any... View More

Arguably a fraud/forgery on the Court, possibly the judicial officer. Have you checked with the alleged Court to see if there is such a case? Check first, and then possibly contact Sheriff. But realize at some point you will probably have to give up possession.

You should be able to claim the plaintiff does not exist at Court. Hire a GA attorney to defend you. But Court will give them continuance to substitute proper party.

Not sure of your question... But you need a GA attorney to search the title and determine heirship. Then you might consider a quiet title action if you are an owner.
Died while waiting for their share?
Then the other name sells with quit claim deed, cheating the dead person's heirs by not informing them that they had an inheritance? How do I get my dead mommas inheritance? Daddy never told us, now I have the warrenty deed with mommas name, and the... View More

It depends on the terms of the divorce decree and the way the deed was written. Whoever was entitled to the property in the divorce decree can sell it under most circumstances. Schedule a free consultation so an attorney can review the divorce decree and the deed.

If they are unwilling to pay rent, your will have to file a lawsuit. You can force the sale of the property through a partition... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with local attorneys, using disclaimers is usually a good idea. Any time you are presenting information to the public, there is always the possibility that someone could claim that they... View More

The heirs of the deceased will always inherit the property. The laws of intestacy provide a very detailed analysis of who inherits when someone dies. This can extend to cousins of varying degrees when necessary. Schedule a free consultation to figure out who is entitled to inherit the real estate.
There was no court settlement at the time of the divorce as we chose to do that on our own. My ex refuses to sign a quit claim. How can I proceed to have her name removed from the deed? Can I still sell the house even if she does not want to ?
answered on Nov 19, 2024
You cannot remove her name from the deed without her consent. You can force her to sell the property, but that can only be accomplished through a partition lawsuit. In a partition lawsuit, you ask the court to divide the property evenly. This typically only works if the property is undeveloped... View More
