Q: how can I prove a house isn't being rented out while it is still in probate court.
my mother passed away almost a year ago and she left the house to me. I'm now currently living inside the house that she left me. The city wants me to prove that the house is not being rented out so they don't charge me more for property taxs. This is my down fall come into place and I need help asap. They told me I have to have the person that the houses name is in go sign some papers at the city hall. well house is currently in my moms name still and wont be in my name until it has successfully been sent thru probate court. How can I prove that the house is not being rented out while its still in the process of going through probate court?
A: There is no quick solution here. You will need to open a probate estate as soon as you can. Until that happens, and concludes, you are renting the house from your mother's estate.
