reimbursment of expenses on abandon property
My aunt died and left her home to her grandchildren. The grandchildren trashed the home and abandon property; the taxes and mortgage were deliquent. To keep the property from being taken away from the family, I contacted the oldest of the grand kids; he lived out of town. I informed him of the condition of the property and the deliquent taxes and mortgage. He sent me a notarized letter stating he was turning the property over to me and that he wanted to remain on the estate as a partner. I started paying on the deliquent taxes and mortgage. The city placed a condemn sign on the home because the home was beyond repairs. I also paid for the demo of the home and the clean up. After I paid for all of the expenses, the grand kids got together and sold the property behind my back. Can I sue, for all the monies that I put into the property, the grand kid who sent me the notarized letter which stated he was turning the property over to me because his siblings had abandon it? Please advise, thank you.

Re: reimbursment of expenses on abandon property
depending on the wording of the letter yu have from one of the grandkids, you may be able to sue him, if there is a request that you perform the work. Seems like a long shot, though, since the property was not your, you knew it was not yours, there was no request for you to spend the money or repair the house and no offer of payment by anyone for your work.
