<prompt> Human: My Grandparents just found out that their past relatives have land in Texas and Georgia that has the possibility for drilling wells and developing land, over thousands of acres. They dont have any exact estimate for how much its worth, but the lawyers are saying in the billions. Im only 25 and not very well versed in the tax laws and stuff that comes with this kind of money. My family is looking to put me in charge of this.. Any advise on what do to, how to invest, anything that might be helpful! Thank you!!  <response>: At some point in the past, the land was sold. It no longer belongs to your family. Yes, your grandparents may still have an old deed, but that is just a historical record from long ago.The land may have been sold on purpose by an ancient relative. He got the money and that was the end of it.Or maybe someone died and everyone else temporarily forgot about the land. And guess what happened next? No one paid the taxes on it, and there was a county tax auction and the place was sold to the highest bidder. And that sale is final, no take backs, sorry.So the land is gone. You have to accept that.But there is a very real possibility that your grandparents are getting scammed by a gang of swindlers. The swindlers are lying about the whole thing to get the old peoples hopes up, and collecting fees that will add up to all of your grandparents money. So take action to expose the scam. Get a real lawyer and get busy before its too late.
