What is the name of your state? TX
My father passed away 3 years ago. He owned a lot in a trailer park. I thought my aunt was the executor to his estate. However, I just found out his will was never recorded. I spoke to the county clerk's office today and was told that since I am the sole heir (and he wasn't married), I can have an Affadavit of Heirship filed which will deed the land to me. There is about $1200 in back taxes that are due. I would like to sell the land (it's not worth much). Can I make this whole process real simple by filing an Affadavit of Heirship then turning around and selling the land for a lower price as long as the new owner pays the back taxes? Or do I need to contact an attorney? I just want to get this taken care of as quickly as possible without spending a lot of money.
Also, is there a website where I can download an "Affadavit of Heirship" for free?
