Means to get my land back?

If your house and land have been "sold to another person for taxes" you may never get your land back--unless you buy it from the new owner. Had you repaid the amount the lien holder paid to the county--plus all interest accrued before the deed was issued you would not be in this position.... Read more »
Will I be panelized on the sale of a house if I don't put all the money into buying another one? And how long do I have And how long do I have to buy a new one after the sale?

The last time I looked, if the house is your residence, there is no tax unless the house was worth more than $500,000. Before relying on this advice you should check it out with your CPA or tax lawyer.

Withdrawing money early from an IRA to renovate a house does not qualify as an emergency.
I was told it needed to be paid in 11 days. Please help

You can sign over your house to your son, however, I would look into doing it in a few ways. If you sign the deed over to your son this can be considered a gift. You as individuals are allowed to give a gift in the amount of $14,000 each to anybody throughout the year tax-free. So you and your... Read more »
What would her liability be if she were to marry him? She has a retirement on her current job. Could they touch it? Or her house? Car? How could she protect her assets from the IRS coming after them to satisfy his tax debt?
Thank you.

Please note, I am answering this question as if your daughter will reside in a state that does not have community property laws. If she does this answer will not apply.
If she did not file a joint return with him, she will not be liable for any of his tax debts. Having said that she... Read more »

I am assuming the property is in Alabama. The right to redeem on the property goes to the person who holds a mortgage on the property or to the person who owned the property at the time the tax sale was held. If that person has died, then the right devolves to the person's heirs at law. You... Read more »
Short version is the company I used to work for is being investigated by the IRS. There was a settlement reached between us from them not paying me. During this time, I was not able to file taxes. Now apparently I have to be cleared of fraud and my account is frozen so I can't deposit my... Read more »

There is not enough detail here to give you an accurate answer. You really need to contact a tax attorney, particularly if there is any fraud suspected by the IRS. Most of us offer a free consultation. Just stay away from the places you see advertised on tv.

You need some help here. You are confusing terms of divorce (marital property) with an estate. The only property that is the property of your late husband's estate is his separate property. You need to get to a lawyer and find out what your rights are.
My grandmother has a bank account which listed my father and uncle as joint owners with right of survivorship (added after my grandfathers passing about 10 years ago). My father recently passed so only my uncle remains as a joint owner. At my grandmothers passing will the account be wholely owned... Read more »

The best answer is unfortunately the most common one in the law ... “it depends.” Alabama has an entire act about joint accounts and there are many cases about situations like this one.
The presumption is that uncle is the owner. That presumption may be challenged and the Will may be... Read more »

If there are back taxes on the land you have to pay them or a tax buyer will pay them and get a tax certificate and later a tax deed to the property. Go back to your lawyer and get him or her to explain this to you.... Read more »

This is a very trick area of the law. It works like this (basicly) When a person fails to pay taxes on land after a certain period, anyone can pay the taxes. That payor gets a tax certificate to the property. After three years, that person gets a tax deed to the property. DON'T be fooled into... Read more »

She filed his tax return online with H&R Block. And she was told to have his refund directly deposited into my bank account like she did last year. But instead she had it sent to her account. And now she refuse to give it to him.

It sounds like you are stating she filed his tax return without him being present to review and approve the return or authorize its filing. This is very unusual without a specific Power of Attorney authorizing her to do so. However, since it sounds like she was authorized to do this by your son,... Read more »
