This is regarding a question asked earlier about property owned by my late grandfather?

Question

The property was owned by my grandfather only.The orginal deed was destroyed years ago in a fire at the county court house so the only proof of ownership was the name on the taxes so down through the years each person just paid the taxes and used the property until 96.Then the house set empty.Now comes the kicker,the grandfather that owned the house is my paturnal grandfather and also my maturnal great grandfather.I am the product of my mother being raped at the age of 14 by her uncle.Now this uncle is the only living child of my grandfather and he hasn't had any intrest in the property in years. I was raised on this property by my grandmother (my birth mothers mom) and my uncle( my fathers brother) so this property is very important to me because it was home when I wasn't wanted anywhere else,so any help with this matter would be greatly appericated.

Answer 1

There are allot of what ifs,
and every state of country has different rules.
So some may or not apply
If your Grand Father died and left no will, the estate can be divided by his wife and children. (no rights to survivor ship)
If Your Grandmother has passed, the estate would go to the Children.
It lead my to believe your Mother has also passed.
If when Your Grandfather passed both your Grandmother and Mother had passed, the estate can go to your Uncle alone, or the estates can be divided by all there Children alive or not, If the Deceased child had offspring. In this case Your Uncle, and you (and any brother and sisters you have, may be legal heirs)
In my case my Mother had passed, and when my last Grand parent had passed. There estate was split 50% their only surviving child, and 50% to be divided between my Brother and Sisters. (They had only two children)

You will need legal advice from an estate attorney but, to assist him/her, know the dates of who has passed and when, this will help the to outline the chain of Heirs.

Answer 2

Legally the house belongs to your uncle, feelings don't mean much in regards to real estate. Without a will he is the heir, what he did or did not do to your mother is not relevent. If you are going to court you need to just stick to relevent facts or you won't stand a chance of winning.

He may simply deed it over to you and make it hassle free.

Did YOU pay the property tax after 96? It would help you in your case if you did, except that you have to live on it to be a "squatter".
