Talk:Estate (law)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would like to find out if a person dies, and left 13yrs of back taxes and left it behind, 2 of the children paid all of the back taxes on the property and have all the current paid....Why would they not be able to put the property in their name,,,,Texas The land was up for sale thru the tax office and they paid them off before they auctioned it off.....

Jo Ann, it's not a good idea to give your e-mail address. You are likely to get a lot of spam (being sent to you or apparently by you). --Concrete Cowboy 17:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I was going to suggest the creation of a new page/article on "Decedent's Estates" to address those kinds of questions. Although I have found pages for "executor" and "administrator," I haven't found any source of information on decedent's estates in general, and it seems to be needed. Can anyone suggest any reason why I should not create such a page? Dan Evans Evansdb 12:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Only that the word "Decedent" may be unique to the US? I've never heard it before. In the UK, the term is "(the) Deceased". More at talk:Probate. --Concrete Cowboy 17:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
