Inherited land? Here’s where to start.
We work with a lot of families who’ve inherited land. Many of them live out of state and haven’t walked the homeplace in years. Over the next few weeks, we’ll walk through the process one step at a time.
Step 1: Find out where things stand.
• Is the estate open, and has it been settled?
• Was there a will, or does the land belong to all the heirs together?
• Are the county property taxes current?
You can’t make good decisions about the land until you know who legally owns it and what’s owed on it. If you’re not sure, an estate attorney can help you sort it out.
