Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Indiana
My mother in law recently passed. She left behind a few acres of rural property. Come to find out it was in her uncles name. He died 20 years ago. She was the primary care taker of said property. She paid the taxes lived there her whole life. It was labeled "in care of" her. There are no other relatives disputing the land. Is it ours to claim? Can we put it in our name and take ownership? How would we go about it?

You will most likely need to open a probate estate in your mother's name and possibly one for your uncle as well, in order to properly transfer title. You had best consult with a probate attorney in your community.
