Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Sale of property
I have been paying taxes on property for 30 years. Another person has come in and claimed they have 1/2 interest in the property. I am wanting to sell, but they want 1/2 of the money. They have never paid taxes or any money for the maintenance of the property

Re: Sale of property
Depending on the specific facts, you may have a claim for adverse possession of the property, but to perfect your interest, it will take a lawsuit and court order. At the very least, you should be reimbursed for the taxes you paid over the years plus interest out of the other person's proceeds.
