Q: Deceased mothers home deeded to her going for tax auction can they kick us out?
We pay the taxes but fell behind if not paid by the 30th it goes up for tax sale she is dead the deed is still in her name as we have not had the money to probate her estate
A: The Decedent's heirs at law own the property. After the tax sale, possession can be taken from you. The heirs will probably have a small time period to redeem from the tax sale purchaser. Hire a competent PA attorney to advise you who the heirs are, how to put together enough money within the redemption period and demand redemption.
