So heres the deal. Bout 2 months ago i was thumbin through our local paper and glanced through the delinquent property tax section. My father showed up with my child hood home. I did research and our county register of deeds has him as sole owner. I finally discussed it with him on the phone. He was in Texas and Im in Kansas. He said he had no need for the house where as im young and i do want it. He said what i expected retaining what he last remembered of the house. He suggested i call the company that owns land round the house and ask if their owner of certificate. I looked that term up and it said name on deed which is his. I still called and their exact words were “its our property but someone just bought it.” Didnt actually answer. I talked to the court house and lady said since he’s not interested he needs to sign a quit-claim deed to me. She was pretty adamant he needed to sign it in front of a notary. Well problem is he went in the hospital for breathing problems and was placed in a medically induced coma.
I got informed this past monday he passed away. I know he was married. Ive had alot of things running through my mind and one being the old house. Im pretty sure he didnt have a will. So Im curious what would happen to the house now.
I know theres someone living in it. Dads sister was talking to my cousin bout the house a while back. She said he might have gave the land round the house the house. However that was like 4 years ago. If someone just GAVE you a house wouldnt you do whatever it takes to make your ownership unquestioned. Instead he’s still on it and hasnt lived there since bout july of 09.
