Alabama tax deed information
I'm in the process of buying a tax deed to a vacant lot over the counter from the State. The lot was acquired by the state in 2016, so I'm assuming it will be a tax deed vs a certificate. The owner is deceased and there are many heirs, and one (an attorney) was paying the taxes for 10 years or so before it was acquired by the State. If I were to buy the property, and take possession, what happens from there? I'm sure a void tax sale could be possible so would it make sense to take possession and wait for 3 years to cure that or would that even work? Also how would you eject all of the possible heirs from a vacant lot? It probably would never be able to be developed due to its location. I would solely be interested for the purpose of hunting and maybe a garden. I'm not sure it would even be worth it to quiet title. Any help would be very appreciated!
