Hire a competent GA attorney to Quiet the Title if you feel the Deed is a Cloud on your Title. Otherwise it is not your concern. Especially when it is not filed in the County where the subject property lies.

Generally by a Deed conveyance from the grantor to the grantees with that specific estate language in the habendum clause, and sometimes also in the granting clause.

You need a competent GA attorney today. Title co will claim it does not represent you, so very weak causes of actions apply. Seller may be liable on covenants of title, but maybe not. Also someone should have looked at survey, and you do have some responsibility. You have bought a lawsuit.

Per Bankruptcy Code 523(a)(16), these debts are probably not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so you would continue to owe them. Whether they represent an accurate balance of what you owe is a different issue.
I suggest clearly breaking down all charges and payments made (like a statement),... Read more »

If a child is legally adopted in Georgia, he or she will have rights to inherit from their parents the same as any child who is the biological child.
Plan on using the money to pay down the leins, but who gets paid first? State or IRS?
answered on Apr 5, 2022
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.

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
answered on Mar 3, 2022
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.

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."
