[WSBAPT] 2nd Try: is PR responsible for RE taxes

[Bryce Dille]

I'd take the position that taxes owing as of date of death was estate responsibility but any taxes due after date of death was responsibility of heirs receiving the same as a specific bequest the same as would be payments on mortgage encumbering the property.

Subject: [WSBAPT] 2nd Try: is PR responsible for RE taxes

Mates:

Creditors Claim filed by County Treasurer for prop taxes on RE in the Estate.  Claims refers to 2016 taxes.

Probate opened 4 months ago (late 2015), property deeded to heirs now.  Since the law states that ownership by heir essentially begins at death of testator, are the property taxes from Testator’s DOD the responsibility of the receiving heir?  Or the responsibility of the Estate until date of actual transfer deed?
