I would want to look at the lien notice, but if it went to $0 on IRS records prior to the notice normally I would expect that you probably received a scam notice that is not actually from IRS. Feel free to email it to me for review. No, an IRS lien cannot exist without an underlying tax debt.... View More

Q: Can I lose my share of the house if my ex spouse who owns 1/2 the home gets in tax trouble?

I believe my ex-spouse is behind in his business taxes. What are the implications on our co-owned house that I reside in?

Yes, the Hawaii Dept of Tax can lien any real property a taxpayer owes. They can only lien up 1/2 the house. Not your share of the house. If they foreclose on the lien (very rare), they would sell the house and pay you 1/2 the net sale proceeds.

Hope that Helps.

The Principal needs to revoke the POA with notice to any banks involved, etc. Sometimes you record the revocation in the county where property lies. Principal should hire an attorney to sue the former attorney-in-fact/agent for breach of fiduciary duties, conversion, etc.
