What are state tax liens and why are they important?
Taxes levied on a homeowner for their property to secure the payment of taxes. A tax lien may be imposed for delinquent taxes owed on property, or as a result of someone not paying their taxes. They are important, because you want to keep your house and property, and not get it seized. Tax liens are issued when the IRS decides to claim your assets as their own in lieu of you paying your income taxes. Tax liens can take your real property, empty your bank accounts, and seize your paychecks.
Is the life estate terminated if someone moves away from the property and stopped paying taxes for the past three years?
It depends upon the laws of your state. Usually, a "life estate" means exactly that - the grantee has the privilege of occupying or using the property for the remainder of their LIFE. Much depends on how the life estate was granted and worded. Read the wording. Are they required to maintain the property - pay the taxes on the property - etc - etc.? REGARDING THE UNPAID TAXES: If the grantee abandoned the property and ceased paying taxes on it - the grantor(s) actually owning the property had better be paying the taxes or it could be sold at a tax auction for the unpaid tax lien.
Can you offer to sell a 28 year old deed that never got recorded?

What reasoning supported tying the right to vote property ownership?
Before 1920, most taxes were assessed on property. When all taxes are based on property, it makes sense to restrict voting to property owners. When non-property owners are voting on property TAXES, the non-owner is has no reason not to vote for higher taxes that he won't be paying. Since the advent of the income tax, even people who don't own property are paying taxes, so the voter rolls needed to be expanded. Here in 2014, the disconnect between paying taxes and voting is becoming bad again.

You should not have to pay more taxes on the property but you will be paying more taxes on the people using the property. The property is going to be the same because they go by the land value and that is how they figure out your taxes.

One can purchase anything the State holds in inventory. This usually is property that the state has collected due to someone not paying property taxes. The State then auctions off these properties from their Statewide Inventory.
If you paid the delinquent property taxes on another person's property can you own there property?
Paying the delinquent property taxes on someone else's property does not automatically entitle you to ownership of that property. However, some states have provisions for filing a tax lien against the property if the taxes are not repaid within a certain period, which could potentially lead to ownership rights. It is important to consult with a legal professional for guidance in such situations.
