If I pay someone elses property taxes does the property become mine?

Answer:If you pay someone's property taxes you would be considered a volunteer. That wouldn't give you any fee interest in the property.Occasionally, tax authorities will put a property with seriously delinquent tax payments up for sale and then you could buy the property for the cost of taxes. Contact your local city or county treasurer who handles the property taxes for your area.

What is the difference between Legal and Equitable Rights?

A legal right is a right you have to something without any barriers. An equitable right is one that would be recognized by a court of equity. One of the easiest to understand examples is the right of real property ownership.Suppose a person purchases a parcel of land by deed from its owner. That person becomes the legal owner of the property. They have a legal right of ownership.Now suppose a person inherited a parcel of land as the only heir at law of her grandfather. The grandfather's estate must be probated to transfer legal title to the beneficiary. When the estate is probated through the probate court the beneficiary will become the legal owner of the premises by virtue of the court order that allows the probating of the estate.If the estate is not probated the beneficiary has an equitable right to the property and is not the legal owner. She has the right to commence a court action to probate the estate so she can acquire the legal right to the premises.Another example: An owner whose land is taken by the town due to nonpayment of real estate taxes has an equitable interest in the property until that right has been barred by a court decree. In this case the delinquent property taxes are the barrier to full legal ownership. The delinquent taxpayer is no longer the legal owner of the premises. Until the delinquent owner's rights have been barred by a court decree they have the right to pay the delinquent taxes to redeem their property and become the legal owner once again.


if a person haven't paid taxes on a peice of property for over six years can someone else catch up the taxes and claim the property?

It depends on the property, the law in that jurisdiction, the amount of taxes owed and the disposition of the property at the County Tax Assessor's office. If you are aware of such a property, contact the County Assessor for information.

If you paid the delinquent property taxes on another person's property can you file a lien against it to recover your expenditure when the property is sold?

YES BUT YOU SHOULD DO IT RIGHT AFTER YOU PAY THE TAXES. * No. The party who paid the delinquent taxes has no legal rights to the property. You cannot automatically place a lien against property other than that of a Mechanic's Lien. The paying of the taxes would be considered a loan, the only option for recovery of the monies if the property owner did not voluntarily repay the amount would be to sue the party in the appropriate state court.

Can you give your property away owing taxes?

Yes, you can give your property away owning taxes, unless there is a lien or other legal document held by the IRS or taxing authority that prohibits you from doing so. Examples of such restrictions against giving the property away might be where your personal income taxes are delinquent or your property taxes are delinquent and the property is collateral guaranteeing payment of the debt.If the property is free of delinquencies, the person accepting the property is doing so subject to the outlying property taxes. For example, if you gave real estate to a person they probably need to pay the real estate taxes before they could purchase title insurance or mortgage the property.
