My father passed away in March of 2017 and there was no will or executor named. I am his only living heir, but did not take ownership of his estate due to it be insolvent. More than 7 years after his passing I am receiving a summons for past due property taxes by Lorain County , Ohio. My name has never been on the deed or loans for the property. At the time of his passing he had a home equity line on the home which he owed more than the home was worth. I was advised not to take possession due to it being underwater, but am still receiving a summons from the prosecutors office for past due taxes. Can I be held responsible even though I never took possession?
