my mother died and left property to 10 heir also however i have been the only one paying the taxes for 5 years do i have any right of what should i do about the property
The property passes to the heirs according to will, or if no will, by state law of "intestacy". You have no right to the property by paying taxes, but you do have a right to compensation for the heirs. You may be able to file an Affidavit of Heirship to put the property in the heirs' names. If there is a dispute, you should go to probate court.
