Shared Property Dispute

[dumbagain]

i have an uncle who back in the 50's built a cabin with a few other guys. if my uncle passes away his possessions will more than likely go to my father, his only living relative.

how does a situation like this usually play out if something would happen to him? would his "share" be passed on legally?

basically we have a piece of real estate with LOTS of childhood memories involved that i would hate to lose (would like to share them with my kids someday) and the other owner's son who is acting like he owns the place and wants to take control.

what should i look into? check the land deed for names first? can i do that at the county buildings?

thanks for any advice

Yes, Contact the county recorders office or county assessors office, make sure it is in the county where the cabin is-- they will let you know all of the names on the deed---

I am not sure how it would fall, I would assume if there are 2 people on the deed & one passed a way then the other one would have full rights to it. You may try and see if this son will sale his portion to you or he may have to buy you out your family's portion
