How can find where my recently inherited land is at without hiring a land surveyer?

I have contacted the local officials at the court house and the tax assessor collector but have constantly been given the run-arounds. The most information I have recieved is the general coordanants and the general area but no physical address or directions. I cant afford a land surveyer but I've payed every penny of taxes and still no help. What do I have to do to find my land? Please help me.
Answer:

Has the land been transferred into your name through the probate process? In what state is this land located? If so, GO IN PERSON to the county recorder's office and ask them to show you what land is in your name. You should be able to take the coordinates you are given (or that you might already have) and look in the plat books to see the location of the land. A plat book is a very thick book that has all the land in the county in it, and it shows who owns which parcel. Since there is so much land in a county, there are probably multiple plat books for each county or township within the county. If it is not in your name, it needs to be put in your name ASAP. If no one has filed for probate to administer the estate of the deceased, hire a lawyer and file. The legal costs will come out of the estate.
