My sympathies. But is there nothing you can do? No way to pay the back taxes? No way to mortgage the property to pay taxes so you can still live there?
Please pardon me, no disrespect intended. But I am alarmed that you will lose your home Dec 2nd, and saddened if you truly have no alternatives. Take care.
I inherited the house from my parents. Part of the deal I made with them in the mid-90s was I would take care of them until their deaths. They would assure that I would not have to work after they were gone. In the end, they were not truthful.
Because I would be the heir, they did nothing to correct the problems requiring extensive building repairs. The house’s electrical system needs to be replaced due to age; there have been two fires due to shorts in wiring insulation and the home insurance was cancelled. Basement repairs to stop water leakage during winter were never done, so now there is a massive toxic black mold problem. Real estate agents will not talk to me.
I could probably sell but only if the buyer promised to tear down the structure and rebuild. The land, or parcel, along with improvements, is worth a great deal. I am considering marketing the property as a ‘tear down’.
