Taking possession of a property Jefferson County AL

Hey ya’ll I hope everyone is having a good day.

I have 2 questions maybe I can get some answers

In case I bought a tax deed (actual deed - not certificate).

answers:

1. What needs to be done in order to take lawful possession of the property in case it is vacant? (Besides changing the locks)

2. What needs to be done in order to take lawful possession in case the property is occupied?

Kind Regards,

Mario

In both cases you would just file an ejectment.  Do not spend money changing locks until you are granted possession.
