My grandparents passed away over 10 years ago. My father and uncles never turned it into probate because I lived here. How do I go about getting it into my name? I owe on back taxes and wanted to start paying on them.
Hello Jessica, could you please tell me the location of the property? The probate process and laws may vary depending on the jurisdiction.
