    Deeds in deceased relatives names
    Who owns property if the deed is still in the name of a deceased relative if only one living relative have continued to pay the taxes on the property?

    Thank you

    The property is owned by the estate of the person who is deceased. It will continue to be owned by the estate, regardless of who pays the taxes, until the executor of the estate signs a deed to the person who is entitled to inherit the property according to the will. If there was no will then the executor of the estate must give a deed to the person or people who inherit based on the inheritance laws of the state.

    The person who has paid the taxes on the property has a claim against the estate for full reimbursement.
