my mother’s house she passed ten years ago no one of my siblings claimed, I have now payed the 6000 tax bill and remodeled it and , I live in it……..thanks for you input…….please help

I think that you need to talk with an attorney about the situation. There is something called adverse possession which might ultimately result in the home becoming yours. However, now that the taxes are paid and the house is remodeled, your siblings may decide that they are part owners and want money for you. Alternatively, they may decide they want to put it on the market.

Most attorneys don’t charge for an initial consultation, but you should ask about the attorney’s policy when you call for an appointment.
