My oldest sister (82) is having trouble with a small piece of land she ended up with after her husband died and the local school district has subpoenaed her. It's less than 20 acres, is completely land locked, she has no wish for it and, she doesn't have sole ownership of it. It was, according to the wishes of late hubby's father, for it to be unevenly divided between her late husband and his cousins. Those heirs aren't willing to give their minor (2 ac each) shares up but have also not been paying their share of Harris County property taxes on it for the last several years. It's a big mess and she just wants out from under it but the school district wants their $$, tho the school district also has no interest in acquiring the property because it's land locked and in flood zone A and they wouldn't be able to sell it either.
Tax value is about $200,000 but the real value way less than that. Located about 200 yards off Hiway 90 between Crosby and Dayton Tx next to Cedar Bayou..
Best thing would be to offer it at fire sale price to the nearby landowners but they are all old and don't want it, but are also unwilling to grant easement across their property and State of Texas won't allow transfer of deed on landlocked property with no easement.
Her lawyers have thrown their hands up, because the cousin heirs won't work with them in any way
