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?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experience, knowledge, and wisdom.
