Greetings.
Back in around 2013 or earlier my spouse bought some property from a friend of his and they created the land contract.
This is for Michigan.
October 12th, 2018. They then signed a quit claim deed to turn property over to him.
It wasnt until 2019 the tax assessor mailed us a packet of overdue taxes from way back. Stating uncapping started when they signed a land contract. We had to pay a huge amount of uncapping taxes from years back. Ive read the laws and find it hard to believe thats when it uncaps.
All taxes were paid to current to his friend. The tax bill was still in his friends name right up to the quit claim deed. Also we have a copy of a tax statement dated 2018 winter and payable december 2018. ? Property quit claimed October 2018.
If they charged us uncapping because of a land contract. How can they when he was still making payments to his friend and the bills right up to 2018 were still in his friends name. I think we got screwed. Our attorney said there was nothing he could do. I differ. Please advise. Thank you.
