Re: No will legal daughter

Your brother is somewhere. You'll have to find him. With the internet nowadays, it's very rare that a person cannot be found. Since you have been paying the taxes on the property, you might be able to sell the property to recoup your payments, but you will have to obtain a title to the property first. You should hire a lawyer to help you unless you know how to do all this. Good Luck.

My firm could help you to pass legal title from your father on the land. We could also help track down your brother and with the sale of the property so that you may recoup your unequal share of recent payments.
