Q: I lived on 52 acres shared by my mother and uncle. I alone paid the $10,000 in back taxes. Do I have any rights to it?
The property was my dad & uncle's and my dad's part went to my mom when he died. I lived there for over 23yrs in the main house but moved into an RV on the property so my mother, sister, and her husband and kids coild have the house. I paid rent monthly just to help out and I alone paid the 2 year delinquent taxes. Before that we had all pitched in on them. Then recently, I my sister and I had a falling out and my wife and I left for 2 weeks to let things calm down and in our absence my sister sold my RV, kept the money, and told my mother that if she allows me to come back to the property, that she will move away and no longer provide care for her. Dont I have some legal right to be there since i paid the $10,000.00 in back taxes? Can I file charges against my sister for selling my property (RV) ?

A: You have a claim against the property owners for reimbursement but be prepared for them to make a counterclaim against you for rent.
