Also, without a will. <br /><br />My father in law put a survivorship deed on his house, naming three people to inherit but only the last surviver could sell the property. By the time the last one inherited he was considered by the courts to be unfit to enter into a contract due to dementia. So the family quit paying the taxes and left the old house to sit and rot until the city could claim it for unpaid taxes. That took five years in this case.Kranky Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395118246357066241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652000138331690507.post-998360803734801422012-07-03T23:38:39.131-04:002012-07-03T23:38:39.131-04:00For some it's just the building that is not lo...For some it's just the building that is not looked after.
