She might be, yes, but there are facts missing from your description that could make a difference. Plus, it is not automatic. She would have to go to court to prove her claim. She should schedule a consultation with a real estate litigation attorney.

Each County Trustee gets the County Attorney to do tax sales at different delinquency periods. If you want to set aside a sale, hire an attorney now. Redemption period may not have run yet, but then you have to have the money to redeem.

My uncle's house was listed in the will, but I thought the quit claim deed signed just before he died 4 months ago would keep us out of probate. I'm going through probate anyway since my name wasn't on some accounts (I am the sole inheritor). I'm trying to sell the house but I... View More

That is quite unfortunate. If your uncle deeded the house to you during his lifetime, as a lifetime gift, then your basis is the same as whatever his basis was (the amount he paid for it plus capital improvements). This is called carryover basis. If the house has appreciated in value since he... View More

If the common areas are part of a condominium, then those homeowners are responsible for the taxes. If they are roads, then dedicated to the County and no taxes. Reconstitute the HOA, and probably need to pay taxes. Developer and the old HOA could possibly be sued, but doubtful. HOA might... View More

Specialization will not help. Hire a competent TN attorney to examine your Redemption Rights, and possibly exercise them. It will not be cheap and probably difficult. But if you want your home back, get in gear. Time is of the essence.

Have you been served with a civil warrant? If not, you might forget about it until sued. Generally a 6 yr SOL. If worried, then make him a cash offer if you received a shed.

There is a lot more to this than simply getting notice of Delinquent Taxes. Hire a competent attorney to search the Title. The Redemption period is probably past, but the alleged owner may only have a Bill of Sale, not a Deed. An Ejectment Action may be possible. The legal description should... View More

That does not sound like a TNDL. You may wish to read the Citation verbatim, possibly with a magnifying glass. Then call the Court that it is before and ask. Otherwise hire an attorney to figure out what is going on. It may not be a Citation but a Notice of Suspension from DOS due to an... View More

You are probably exempted from the capital gains tax as you were 55 during the last 5 years of living there as your home. But you still have to report the sale, and you might not meet the one time exclusion because of your age. Check IRS Publication 523.

That should be the "Wheel Tax" which is levied in many, but not all, Counties. It is part of the Registration Fees each year. Take a copy of your VA Decision Letter (and probably a DD 214 also) to the County Clerk for your next Registration. If applicable, it should save you some money.
But they continue to add a $29,000 manufactured home to my property taxes each year. What else can I do?
