Q: My parents receive a tax bill and a lien has been put on their 1/3 interest of timberland.
The unpaid tax is on a mobile home that they " purchased" from this neighbor in a trailer park. She never produced the correct paperwork to get it out of her name or into my parents name. My dad ended up murdered a few years later. My mom was unaware of any would be taxed in connection with the trailer. When she moved she had nowhere to go with the trailer so she left it in the park and that was the end of that for her. The park ended up selling it and are no longer in bizzness. Shouldn't they have had to clear any unpaid tax when They sold it?
A: Yours is a complicated question, and a sad situation. There is not much you can do about the mobile home, since it was sold and the Park is closed. As to your parents being hit with a 1/3 tax bill and lien, I think they will have to pay the Bill to get the Lien on the land removed. Without knowing all the facts, I cannot give you further advice. As it is, I am only guessing at what needs to be done. I would seek out a lawyer near you for advice. Good Luck.
