Hello everyone,
I hope you don’t mind, I’m asking this question as more of a personal matter than an investor. I think I know the answer, but I’m not absolutely sure. . .
I sold my primary home to my now ex-husband in July. I’m looking back and the deed never got filed. Now, I’m looking through our county records and I have found that a tax lien has been issued against the old property because my ex never paid the school taxes.
Will this affect me at all? I know it can somewhat because my name is on the property still, etc, but can I be forced to satisfy this lien before getting a loan, etc?
I always thought that liens were either satisfied voluntarily or through forced sale of the land and nothing else, but I want to be sure. Meanwhile, I’m trying to find the abstract company that handled the deed.
Thanks in advance!
Suz
