Land Purchase Without Deed

Summary

If you bought land and the seller has no deed, consult a real estate attorney and contact the Vermillion County Recorders Office. You may need to file a quiet title action to establish ownership, especially if the previous owner has passed away.

I've been paying taxes also, I do know the person seller bought from has passed away
In this case, you might need to initiate a "quiet title" action in court to establish your ownership. This process can be complex, so it's recommended to consult a real estate attorney.
