This person paid off the property but did not receive the deed. She has resided on this property for approx. 28 years, paying property tax, etc. Has made improvements and recently purchased a new mobile home that was moved on the above property to replace the previous mobile home.
Hi dneugebauer,
As far as I know, you need to occupy the property for at least 7 years to claim adverse possession rights in the state of Georgia. Since the person mentioned in the post occupied the property for the past 28 years and paid taxes and other property related obligations, she can claim her rights in the property through adverse possession. However, it is better to consult a real estate attorney in this regard.

hi mickeymouse!
welcome to forums!
rather than going for an adverse possession, you can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in your name. then, you can refinance the mortgage in your name.

That person that you are referring has the rights to own the property since he or she has done all the qualifications of owning the rights of a property.
