My Dad signed his morgage free home over to me and then he died a week later. The papers were filed. I was looking through his papers and see he is late on the last payment of taxes. Will the transfer go through or will I have to pay the taxes first? i am in California.

The property was deeded to you before he died? Are you the sole person in possession of title to the property? The back taxes must be paid to avoid collection, or seizure of your property. Contact a title company and see what is recorded. If you are listed as the owner, then you just need to get current on the taxes. You have 5 years to redeem unpaid taxes before it goes to the state.

Yes, I am the only one who will be on the title and I have the original first deed. This was all last week so I was afraid that the title change would not go through if the taxes were not paid first? The papers were notarized and sent in to be recorded 1 week before he died. So the name change will go through and I can pay the back taxes without a problem?

Hi blueyedbabe,

It will be better if you could pay off the back taxes asap. If you don't do so, then there are chances that the IRS can place a lien on the property.
