What is the name of your state?texas.
I have lived on my late parents property for 11 yrs. Paid all property taxes including back taxes from 1988-1994. One year after I moved out here I told my two sisters I wanted to buy this place and started paying one of the sisters her portion. After her portion was paid in full they met with me and told me that portion I had paid was put towards another debt I had. They then said all the taxes I paid was for my rent. As far as I was concerned I was already in the process of buying this property and I've put thousands into this house repairing and making it livable. My dad's will was probated in 1988 so that's been done. Not one of my sisters ever helped with the back taxes or any taxes. They won't meet with me to discuss settling anything. One of them said they are waiting for the property to appreciate. Can I use the Texas 'adverse possession' law to get title to this place?
