Bro goes to prison... I pay his taxes

[steve_westerman]

My brother and i were willed a house in 97 when our grandparents passed. 96 my father died . No will. Been in court for last five years. About to become the last heir standing. "hopefully." my brother cannot take care of house "a" because hes off to prison for the fifth time. Taxes are mailed to me. And the city is all about cleaning up his mess. The trade we made, is not legal till signed in court on the affadavid of heirship that we are doing now. Yep. Its a mess. It has cost me over 20k i now represent myself. Am i considered first lein holder on house "a" ?? What can i file to regain control of house "a"

I don't know why you refer to yourself as a lien holder. You're an heir. You own the property. As an owner, you can't place a lien against your property. You might be the last heir standing, if your brother signs away his ownership to you.

You're making this too easy.

Okay, here's what you do.

Do nothing.

Pay no taxes, do no upkeep.

The city or taxing authority will place a lien against the home for nonpayment of taxes.

Time passes, you wait.

Taxing authority seizes the home and auctions it for back taxes.

You're there, you bid, you win, the home is yours. Screw that uncooperative, deadbeat brother. He's locked up, the home is yours.

He should have done it the easy way. You've got time on your side, he doesn't.
