Hi,
My great great grandmother has land that she passed on to her heirs. My uncle has the deed that states this, dated back in 1898. The problem is though he has the original deed his name is not stated on it. When the property information is pulled up on the website the deed is under one of his cousin's name, but my uncle has been paying taxes on the land for 45 years. My uncle's cousin is now deceased, but my uncle has been paying the taxes over 45 years. Is there any way we can do a quit claim on this land or is there a way we can claim the land as heirs to the property according to the original deed.

if you & other heirs wish to claim property as a heirs, Its good idea to get same share to everyone. To do that, You have to consult with your attorney.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hi Jwill!
Welcome to forums!
As the property is in the name of the cousin who is deceased now, his heirs can claim the property by filing an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office. If the cousin has left a will, then that will needs to be probated and the property would be divided as per the will.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
