What is the name of your state? South Carolina
We inherited a piece of property on Lake Greenwood from my husband's father. This property had been purchased by my husband's father from his ex-wife, my husband's mother. She continued to live on the adjoining lot which she also owned.
My husband's father died 3 years ago leaving the property to us. My husband's mother begged us not to sell the property we had inherited because she had tapped on to the water line (illegally) and had a storage building land swimming pool located there.
We did nothing at the time as the trailer on our property was unlivable and we did not want to improve it at the time. The deed is registered in my husband's name showing the movement from mother to father to my husband. The boundaries were clearly marked with iron stakes, so we did not have the property surveyed.
My husband's mother died 1 and 1/2 years ago. Her second husband was not friendly towards us and there are issues with the distribrution of her estate. We want to sell our property. We have notified him by registered letter that he needs to remove the buildings, obtain his own water, and not use the driveway on our property. This has not been done. What do we need to do so that future buyers will have a clear title to the property? We want to clean up and sell this property peacefully and at the best possible price. The distibution of my husband's mother's property is a different issue, but seems to bleed over into this one. Help!
