Louisiana - Purchased property with half owned by deceased man
Hello, I purchased a property and a title company closed for us. I noticed when looking at the local tax assessor that my name (purchaser) was listed as 50% while someone else was listed as the other 50%. Long story short, the other 50% was the now deceased husband of the wife I bought the property from.
Wife was 50% owner
Husband was 50% owner. I bought the wife's part I guess. I was a bit frustrated with this after ward. I have contacted the company I used that closed and I wanted to get insight from yall and ask for your expertise. I have paused all renovations until I can get this cleared.
Has anyone else dealt with this or have any suggestions?
