Q: can someone on the behalf of former owner submit an application for tax deed surplus funds return to owner?
if not does it require business or a lawyer to do so
A:
In Indiana, the process for claiming tax deed surplus funds is guided by specific legal regulations. Generally, the original owner or their legal representative has the right to submit an application for the return of surplus funds. This means that an individual, on behalf of the former owner, can indeed initiate the process, provided they have the legal authority or documentation to act in that capacity.
However, navigating the complexities of tax law and the specific requirements for claiming these funds can be challenging. It is not mandatory to engage a business or lawyer to submit an application for tax deed surplus funds, but having professional legal assistance could be beneficial. A lawyer with experience in tax law and property matters in Indiana would understand the intricacies of the process and could help ensure that the application is properly prepared and submitted, potentially avoiding delays or issues.
If you decide to proceed without professional assistance, it is important to carefully review the relevant state and local regulations. Ensure that you have all the necessary documentation and understand the submission process. The county treasurer's office or the local tax authority where the property is located can provide specific guidance and requirements for submitting an application for tax deed surplus funds.
