Bought property from a hier but no paper work.

[Jennifer Jones-Justus]

my husband and I bought property from a grandson ( step grandson). The children of the deceased did not and does not want the property. 

We have been living here just over a yr. We paid the taxes, maintenace, utilities, and upkeep. We have managed to make a 360 on the property and house.  

The grandson can't find the deeds and his grandparents did not have a will. But after we have done all of this, the grandson isn't wanting to do anything to help us get it in our name and the other hiers dose not want anything to do with any of it. What can we do to get this in our name.

Since the grandson had no legal right to sell the house, since he didn't own it.....you'll need a probate attorney heavily involved, open probate and get yourself or an heir appointed PR, etc. and take it thru the probate process. You will need the cooperation/blessing of the actual heirs, as determined by state law, in the absence of a will. You definitely got the cart before the horse on this one.
