Many of the people we talk to didn&#8217;t know they were tied to the property until the paperwork arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often the first contact is a constable or sheriff&#8217;s deputy at the door with a citation and an Original Petition. Being served in person is unsettling, and people frequently assume it&#8217;s something more serious than it is. In these matters it&#8217;s usually just the standard way a civil case over unpaid property taxes begins. It isn&#8217;t a criminal charge, and it isn&#8217;t a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usual cause is a gap in probate. When an owner passes away without probate, their interest passes to the next of kin under Texas intestacy laws, while the county&#8217;s records still list the original owner. When the taxes go unpaid long enough, the suit is filed and the county researches the family tree to name the living heirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Jones County, taxes run through the Jones County Tax Assessor-Collector (101 Courthouse Square, 1st Floor, Anson, TX 79501; 325-823-2437), property values are set by the Jones County Appraisal District, and the case is on record with the Jones County District Clerk. All of it is public and can be confirmed before you make any decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, people generally resolve the lawsuit with an attorney, look into a payment arrangement, or sell their portion, which takes them out of the lawsuit without needing everyone else to agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A couple of questions we hear a lot in Jones County:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I always figured something like this would come someday. Is selling my share the simplest way out?<\/em> For many people it is. Selling your portion takes your name off the lawsuit and the property, and it doesn&#8217;t depend on the rest of the family agreeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Do I need everyone else on board to sell mine?<\/em> No. You can sell your own share on its own, without the other heirs&#8217; permission or participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you&#8217;re looking to remove yourself from a lawsuit and get paid for your interest, no cost to you, call or text us at (469) 708-8003 for an offer today.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: BCP Real Estate is not a law firm and its employees\/owners are not acting as your attorneys.
