Q: I have a question my mom was buying a house and when she moved in it went up for back taxes in a tax sale.
We paid the back taxes in full. And never got the deed and paid the taxes every year for 13yrs and then last year the house sold out from under use with no notice
A: In situations where a property has unpaid taxes and goes up for a tax sale, it's crucial to follow the specific legal procedures to secure the deed and maintain ownership. If the property was sold without proper notice or due process, you should consult with an attorney experienced in real estate and property tax matters to assess your options and potentially address any legal issues regarding the sale of the property.
