Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Post your question again using the zip code where the property is located. Likely, however, you will need to make actual contact with a Colorado attorney to review the deed.

Typically, when a group owns a property, they hold in a form of title that does not involve the survivors gaining title, but a form in which each has an interest that would pass through their estates. So, likely, your family's inherited interest is only 1/6, but you never know without having it checked out.

Assuming so, there may nevertheless be other ways you can clear the title, but that should be determined after consultation with a local, experienced attorney. A title search very likely will be recommended to confirm action/inaction by the families of the other owners.
