Redemption process for tax deed

[Gene Walker]

What is the basic process for someone to redeem a tax deed in Alabama? I have a tax certificate that is approaching the 3 year mark where I can receive a tax deed. If the owner decides to redeem what are the steps that I need to be aware of to properly get the funds and transfer the deed back to the owner?  I have only held the certificate since February of this year, but the tax deed will be available in May 2018.

Thanks for any information.
