Re: My father-in law died without a will and all the heirs has quit claimed ther
You would be filing suit to administer the estate and to determine the heirs. Your primary concern will be to establish a necessary link in the chain of realty title between the decedent and the heirs. Absent a judgment identifying all the heirs, any potential buyer of the property would be uncertain the sellers will convey all property interests.
