My parents own a property in Cal City. They passed away in 2000 and 2001. I have been paying the property taxes since then. Can I submit a claim for property ownership because of my 20 plus years of payments.

Your question is one that a probate judge should be able to answer. Your parents estate should have had a will or trust that should have explained how they wanted their real property distributed. If not, then the estate should have gone through probate and a judge would have ordered how the property would be distributed. That order would have directed the County to change title on the property to the person(s) inheriting it.

Thats something you would have to walk in & ask the department personally.
