A quick back story is my parents where divorce since I was young. In that divorce my mother gained 60% of or family house. Growing up the house needed work but my father would never sign paperwork to have the house worked on. In the end my mom paid off the house but my parents would never sign it over to my brother or sister. When my family and I moved in we took care of old property tax and maintained it going forward. My mother and father finally signed the house over to me. My father got with a lawyer and drafted up the paperwork. I took it to the local court house and turned it in. Months later we tried to get a loan to fix the house. It was then that the bank made me aware we got approved but the IRS had a lean on the house for over 50,000. My father never paid his taxes. He is now retired collecting a government check. Also he has two other properties he owns under other people's names and a bank account under my sisters name. He never made me aware of the back owed taxes and will not go to the IRS building to set up arrangements. They will also not give us any info about it. I don't know what to do. I have already told him I was going to pursue this legal because the IRS told my wife he should have made me aware and the courthouse should have also. Plus he continues to drag his feet over the issue.
