Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
Five years ago my father-in law sold a piece of property to a neighbor. Bill of sale and cancelled checks prove it. My father-in law was killed in auto accident later that year and the county tax office(Floyd county GA) was never notified or the exchange. The buyer did not report it either. We have been paying taxes on property. The buyer ignores my request for him to change it and re-imburse us for taxes. Who owns the property? What is our recourse?

You failed to tell us the most important fact - what the deed(s) say and what deeds are recorded. We don't have that information.
