What forms do I need to redeem my property after a tax lien auction?
I am trying to redeem my property after a tax lien sale. I was told by the purchaser that I needed some kind of form and he said that I could get it from a lawyer or try to get it on my own to avoid extra fees. I need to know the names of the forms and if I have to go through a lawyer to get them or can I get them on my own?

It is my undertanding that you have the right of redemption of your property unless and until the purchaser bars same. Called foreclosure of the right of redemption. It is also my understanding that it is an expensive process in Georgia. Look at these codes: Code of Georgia Title 48 Revenue and Taxation; Chapter 4 Tax Sales; Article 3 Redemption of Property Sold for Taxes. Forms can usually be found in a legal supply store but I would speak with lawyer on this matter. It is too important to mess up. Good luck.
