Heir Property · Undivided Interests
Inherited a fractional share of family acreage?
When an estate passes across generations without probate, title becomes paralyzed by dozens of heirs. We trace the family tree, purchase individual undivided interests for immediate cash, and handle all courthouse curative filings.
The Fractional Trap
Why retail brokers cannot sell heir property.
Conventional realtors demand 100% clean title and unanimous signatures before they will even list a property. When an estate is split among 20 distant cousins, that consensus is impossible.
Undivided Co-Tenancy
You do not own a specific corner of the tract. You own an undivided fractional share of every foot. You cannot build or sell without resolving the chain of title.
Missing Family Members
Relatives move across the country, change names, or pass away without wills. Title underwriters reject title commitments until every single branch is legally accounted for.
Mounting Tax Foreclosure
Because no one heir has full control, nobody pays the property taxes. Delinquent taxes snowball until the county forecloses at a sheriff auction.
The Landman Solution
How our curative desk resolves your interest:
- 1. Independent Fractional Buyout: Under co-tenancy law, you have the full legal right to sell your fractional interest directly to us for cash without needing permission from distant relatives.
- 2. Full Courthouse Tree Research: We build the genealogical descent chart, running marriage rolls, death records, and ancient deeds to establish legal heirship.
- 3. Affidavits of Heirship & Curative: We prepare and record the statutory affidavits (e.g. Texas Estates Code Sec. 203.001) to satisfy title underwriters and secure full title insurance.
- 4. Delinquent Tax Payoff: We pay off the delinquent county tax bill out of our funds at closing, stopping tax suits and removing all liability from your family.
