Just call squaters rights and tell them all to P- Off.
 Why don't you try to buy the land from the family members who have the rights, come in and act as the peace maker, so that they can all just wash their hands of the matter. I really don't know what to tell you.................... but I know I hate when 30 + people read one of my threads and no one responds, so I did. |

Real Estate Attorney.
5 or 6 Hundred bucks. And you still might not get it, but you'll know exactly where the whole situation stands. Only other option is to move on and buy another lot. |

if you own alot of land you never visit, you could have someone using that land regularly, say hunting or camping. and if they do that for a certain period of time they can claim rights to it by adverse posession. Example would be if a farmer uses x amount of acres and you don't mind him doing it, he farms that tract for so many years and you decide you want to build a parking lot on it. He sues you. Its his land now. All you have to do though is catch them once and tell them to stop, thereby breaking time period and restarting the cycle of however many years that is.

I haven't given him any money. The guy found out he didn't own it when they did the tile search. I guess the guy who didn't pay his taxes died after the new guy bought the lot and so the lot technically went to the family cause there was a mistake in the paperwork and the new owner didn't get the title in his name. I guess the new guy lawyered up and they met. The lad said she would cooperate, but then wants to read what the papers say so who the hell knows when she will get around to making a decision to sign it over or not. |

Not entirely true. If he died after title was pulled, no ones fault. Check the contracts you signed. It may be that the heirs have to obide by it. Also, do not let the seller charge you back their transfer tax! AND!!! ~ DO NOT allow the title company to charge the builder a sellers policy of only $25-100.00 lets say, then charge you the full amount. Good luck! Chris |

I wouldn't touch this property with a ten foot pole, not for a while. It's the problem of the fella who paid the dead guy, not yours. You could have a situation where each family member sues each other, and the current seller sues everyone including the dead guy's estate. That could tie up the land for years and buy you a whole lot of legal headaches. Unless you really love the property, if it were me, I would move on. Good luck. |
