Re: property taxes after house is sold
Your mother is not responsible, and if the buyer fails to record his deed he does so at his peril. He could lose the house through a tax sale. If your mother doesn't have a copy of the deed she signed, she should contact the settlement firm and ask them to send her a copy.
