Answer 1

Check with your assessors office. Next step would be an attorney specializing in real estate law. What does your family say? Maybe they would sign it over to you. Well ina any case, good luck. bettyk

no you cant
you have to be the owner of it
if the house is ever gonna go into foreclosure and no one in your family claims it and you end up being the only one claiming it then it becomes yours because you paid taxes on it at some point other than that they have to sign the house over to you
and make sure you get it in paper work
