How to get jointly owned property deeded over?
Question Details:
I would like to build a home on what has been called heir property in my family. My grandfather is deceased leaving his 4 children as heirs. He did not have a will. I am the grandson, who is interested in building on the property. I cannot get any cooperation from the other heirs to pursue steps in acquiring a deed for any portion of the property. What steps can be taken to get the process started, if possible? As the son of one of the heirs, is there anything that I can do to force the heirs to take some kind of action forward in getting the property properly deeded?
Real Estate Law Answers
There are a lot of attorneys that handles these types of matters. This is not the sort of thing that you can do on your own. Since your family will not give you any cooperation, legal action would appear to be necessary. You can look in your yellow pages in the Attorney section for lawyers that have advertised "real estate" or civil litigation. Also, in the back section of the yellow pages still under Attorneys are specific areas of law that they practice and there should be one for Real Estate. Lastly, you can call the South Carolina Lawyer Referral Service at 1-800-828-1137. I wish you well
