Is the life estate terminated if someone moves away from the property and stopped paying taxes for the past three years?

It depends upon the laws of your state. Usually, a "life estate" means exactly that - the grantee has the privilege of occupying or using the property for the remainder of their LIFE. Much depends on how the life estate was granted and worded. Read the wording. Are they required to maintain the property - pay the taxes on the property - etc - etc.? REGARDING THE UNPAID TAXES: If the grantee abandoned the property and ceased paying taxes on it - the grantor(s) actually owning the property had better be paying the taxes or it could be sold at a tax auction for the unpaid tax lien.

If you take care of property next to your property for over ten years do you have any claim on it?

You are asking about "adverse possession". In Pennsylvania, merely "taking care of property next to your property for over 10 years" does not allow you to make any claim for that property.In Pennsylvania, adverse possession "MUST be open, notorious and hostile for a period not less than 21 years." This means when a person puts up a fence around that property, maintains it as though it were his/hers - cutting the grass, shoveling the snow, [paying the taxes - which may or may not apply] etc., that person is entitled to file for possession of that property through adverse possession for that property.The 21 years must be continuous: each and every day something must be done to that property. When there is even one day missed doing something to that property, the 21 years begins over again, from the very beginning - from Day 1.


After living at a property for 21 years is it lawfully yours?

In general, no. There are many factors that determine whether someone having lived on a specific property has acquired title through adverse possession. Where they renting the property? If yes, then no, they don't acquire title. Where they paying taxes on the property? If no, then probably not, particularly if someone else was paying the taxes. Did they have the owner's permission to live there? If yes, then no title transfer will occur by adverse possession. Laws vary from state to state, so you would have to consult an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.


In most states and m?

In most states and most cases, the payment of property taxes, in and of itself, does not have bearing on the question of property ownership. It is possible that a co-owner of real estate paying property taxes over the course of years would have a claim against the other co-owner, but that only goes to a monetary claim for the taxes...not the joint ownership which it sounds as though was clearly established via a quit claim deed.h


Prospects of property taxation Nigeria?

Property taxation in developing countries including Nigeria is always very difficult to administer, enforce and collect. Property owners both individuals and businesses can easily avoid paying taxes because it is no well enforced. The local municipalities or government areas do not see property tax as a potential source of revenue, and they are limited with very little or no power to foreclose on properties for back taxes. It is not uncommon for a property owner to have unpaid back taxes for over 10 years.


Can a corporation who paid property taxes on land owned by someone else for 25 years claim adverse possession?

No, payment of property taxes alone does not typically establish adverse possession. Adverse possession usually requires exclusive, continuous, open, and notorious use of the property without the owner's permission. Simply paying property taxes on another party's land does not meet these requirements.
