OK...see if you can follow this?
My M-I-L and her Brother, were left 3 acres of Land by my wife's Great Uncle, which had No wife or Kids. My B-I-L and M-I-L lived on the property, which has a 16X80 trailer on it. So My B-I-L, dies 2018, My M-I-L dies in 2019. I talked to the uncle about the back taxes and he said he wasn't paying them, just give him $10k and we will call it good. Well the land minus the back taxes would be way more than half of what its worth. Then the uncle dies in 2020; I paid all the back taxes so nobody could take it (the tax lady said I shouldn't pay taxes on land that's not mine but the trailer is mine). I go to talk to the M-I-L brother widow, and she said she doesn't know what I'm talking about and slams the door in my face. I would think the land is technically hers, in the order of who died when.
Is there a form I could fill out to get the land in my name or do I need to get a lawyer, and if so what kind of lawyer.
Or just keep paying the taxes every year till she dies...
The two people that are on the land title now are Dead.
Very confusing...
