Tristan Szeliga voted up Deleted Account's answer 6/10/2016 Been living on land for at least 40 years and built structure on it. The land is supposed to be deeded to me at the time of my mother's death. Is there anyway I can get the land deeded to me before her death? Depends on where you live. Countrywise. Probably, you can only get the deeds if she lets you.
