my grandmother left a house to my mother and uncle when she passes. the will ended up to be invalid. my mother wanted me to have the house when she passed. her will was also invalid. the uncle doesn't want the house for he has cancer. we have been paying the taxes on the house for the past 6 years. is it true that the state of florida will alow you to transfer the house if you pay the taxes for 7 years?
Hi rrgk,
You need to find out about the owner of the property first. If your grandmother is still stated as the owner of the property, then you or your uncle can file an affidavit of heirship and transfer the property in your name.
If your mother and your uncle are the owners of the property, then you can first remove your mother's name by filing an affidavit of heirship. Then you can ask your uncle to sign a quitclaim deed in your name.
Thanks
