Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Connecticut

Began in probate, now foreclosed...IRS liens are huge!

My grandparents passed away 8 years ago.

My mother and uncle have been in probate

court over the course of these years

because he decided to contest the will.

In an effort to end the long battle, my

parents signed over their rights to a

property willed to them in return for

money. They placed a lien on my then grand-

parents, now uncle's house if the sum

was not paid. Well, two years later my

parents are foreclosing because they

never received payment. The uncle was

evicted and my parents learned from their

not-so-great attorney that there are over

170,000.00 in IRS liens against the property

which is appraised at 225,000.00. What, if any,

would be their options for paying the taxes?

Because it was still part of an inheritance do

these taxes need to be paid? Is there a way to

negotiate with the IRS for payment? My parents

have been going through this ordeal for quite

some time, I was just looking for some answers

for them.

Thank you for your time.

This is not the place. Your parents need to call an attorney knowledgeable in this area.
