He had a deed made....how can the county sale my mothers property without giving her notice? can she get it back?

The tax deed is issued upon foreclosure of the property lien. Typically, there is a grace time period permitting the owner to make good on the delinquent taxes in order to redeem the property. _________________ Home Loan, Mortgage Insurance Calculator, Mortgage Broker

It is quite surprising that they have ignored your mother and sold off the property. Your mother can take legal actions against them. I will suggest you and your mother to contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion regarding filing the lawsuit. This might help your mother to get back the property. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane

Of course this person(tax buyer) didn't do either of these things....I took this matter to a lawyer that said he was a real estate lawyer but I'm not sure he has ever done this kind of work before....thanks for your opinion. What a mess this is, I should have paid more attention to what my mother was doing....

It is true that if the property deed has not been recorded at the county recorder's office, then it will be considered as null and void. I would suggest you to contact another lawyer and take his opinion in this matter so that you can claim back the property. Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
