Hi
My name is vaughn.
The question I have is
How do my wife and I obtain the deed to a house that we are living in?
Here is the problem.
The house is in my wife's grandfathers name who died maybe 15years ago .my mother inlaw move in to take over the house and never changed the deed. There are like 7 other sibling of hers, none of which show any interest in the house, who I think also have rights to the house, I guess! Well in the last year she died (my mother inlaw)and we moved in to pick up where she left off. The house needs lots of repairs. We are stuck trying to make the major repairs with out help. Can't get a loan on the house we can't pay the back taxes which are about $22000 dollars because we are not on the deed .the house is paid for and none of the siblings will sign over the house.
What can we do? I really feel stuck putting the money into it just to have it snatched away from us. Is there anyway around the family ?
Help please!!
