Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Who is responsible for property taxes of a house while in probate? Is the estate responsible to pay taxes while house was in probate and still in the estate? Or am I responsible for past taxes after I inherited house after probate. The estate had the funds to pay the taxes but I was sent 1.5 years of property taxes while house was in probate

The estate should be paying the property taxes unless the heirs have agreed otherwise. Once the property has been transferred, the heir receiving the property is responsible for the property taxes.
