That would not be a smart move unless the revenue officers are levying on other property such as bank accounts. You would be better off hiring a GA attorney to explain the applicable SOL's after a title search. Then make a decision on any type of conveyances subject to the liens.

If your name was not on the property, then then the estate will have to be probated in Probate Court and the property will be distributed to his heirs.

US citizen (Georgia resident at time of death) had a land in France. He had a will but that specific property was not included in Will. What inheritance law applies to this property? Georgia law or French law? I would appreciate if you quote the georgia law section that mentions that.
Many Thanks

The Residuary Clause of the Will includes non-devised real property. So the Residuary Beneficary owns the land. You will have to hire a French attorney to cure title there, but I am sure a certified copy of the Probated Will is necessary for ancillary administration.

Does a Petitioner Brief In Support Petition For Grant Of Private Way need to be filed first to receive the Petition For Grant Of Private Way?
answered on Mar 2, 2022
Not necessarily. Prior to a lawsuit being filed, the parties to a dispute, need, controversy, etc. may enter into land agreement(s) which will resolve the dispute, need, controversy, etc. If the agreement is good for both sides, it can save them a great deal of money by not having to litigate the...

Are you referring to ensuring lawyers are legal to practice in the state? You can call the state bar to make an inquiry regarding that. They will also tell you if there are complaints against an attorney.

I don't follow your posting and the situation is likely too complicated for an online forum like this anyway. You should retain a local real estate attorney to advise you. And just FYI, it is called a "quit claim deed."

No you are still a Tenant In Common with the other owners.
they did not market the house nor did they locate the tenant. I did not sell the house to the tenant or anyone related to the tenant but to an investment company. Are they entitled to this commission payment? Area of question is Atlanta GA
answered on Jan 18, 2022
It depends on the terms of the agreement with the management company. Sometimes the agreement will state that they still earn a commission if the house sells within a certain time even if the agreement has been terminated. Have an attorney review the terms and advise of your options.
