A:
It sounds like you're dealing with a serious situation. When a property with a tax lien is released or transferred, it's usually done through the payment or settlement of the outstanding taxes. The lien is often recorded with the local county or tax authority, and to release it, someone would need to satisfy the debt.
If you suspect the property was taken without your knowledge, it’s important to check the public records. You can search for any recorded lien releases or transfers of ownership with the county recorder or property appraiser's office where the property is located. This could show who, if anyone, paid the lien or how the property was transferred.
Additionally, you may want to gather all relevant documentation regarding the tax lien and any communications you've had with the tax authority. If there’s evidence of wrongdoing or fraud, it may be possible to take legal action to recover the property or damages. Be sure to act quickly, as there may be deadlines for disputing these actions.
