Is there a statue of limitations all info is old can I get it off my lien

We pay the taxes but fell behind if not paid by the 30th it goes up for tax sale she is dead the deed is still in her name as we have not had the money to probate her estate
The Decedent's heirs at law own the property. After the tax sale, possession can be taken from you. The heirs will probably have a small time period to redeem from the tax sale purchaser. Hire a competent PA attorney to advise you who the heirs are, how to put together enough money... Read more »

Check your court paperwork, and if the judge's office told you that you were able to, you should certainly take advantage of that option. Without more information, it is difficult to speak to your specific situation, but at least in general there is a CDC issued stay on evictions for... Read more »

Your question can't be adequately answered in s Q&A forum such as this, where no documents or correspondence can be reviewed. I think you should hire an attorney who practices in the county where the property is located and is experienced in litigation and real property law. If you... Read more »
you will have to look at the Deed. "Joint tenancy" can be either Joint tenants with the right of survivorship (in which case the survivor of the two joint tenants owns 100% of the property) or tenants in common (in which case your aunt can state in her Will who inherits her 1/2 of the property)

A Pennsylvania attorney could best guide you, but your question remains open for four weeks. You could use the Find-a-Lawyer tab above to find someone, or you could search online independently. Good luck

amount of money to be paid back to them. We plan on moving them out within a few days to a better place. There is an occupancy agreement involved.

You should consult with a lawyer, who would undoubtedly want to review the occupancy agreement.
It is probably a lien against the property and will still have to be paid.

She cannot deed you the home now. About the only thing you can do is file an Affidavit which tells of her deed ownership and death. You did not state what the granting clause says, as you may be a tenant in common, the surviving tenant, etc. Hire an attorney to determine the present title.

If you and your sister are the Executors, that means that your mom had a Will and that the Will was probated (that means, filed with the Register of Wills). If so, that means that an estate has been opened. Did you not have a lawyer to do that? You certainly should have had a lawyer. Clearly,... Read more »

Home is $185,000, appraised at $200,000. I am putting 5% down on a conventional loan.
That would typically be up to the lender to decide.
As soon as the sale was finalized I was forced out by verbal abuse escalating to physical abuse. Do I have any legal recourse for the rest of the price of the house?
