Unfortunately there’s no way in the world that anyone can help you with this situation by email. You’ll have to find a lawyer who can fix up this case for you with the taxes; get everything straightened out and the house sold and then get paid at the end from the proceeds of the sale of the house. Whatever you already paid the other lawyer is water under the bridge forget about it.

Good luck.
