Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, if someone has a quitclaim for a house and processes it, will he have to pay the back taxes owed even though he's been making payments on the taxes?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The new owner doesn't HAVE to pay the taxes, but the house is subject to going to Sheriff's sale if the taxes are not current.
THIS RESPONSE IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE, SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED, AND I DO NOT HAVE A REPRESENTATION AGREEMENT WITH YOU.
* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.
* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
