Tax Lien in South Bend Indiana
HI, I've run into an issue with a tax lien I recently purchased.
I went through all the proper channels -advertised, had a lawyer do the outreach, and no one contested the lien for the year. I find out that it is currently occupied (at the time I did research there was no indication that there was any other address associated (nothing showed up on the title pull). I spoke to the occupant today and they explained that the previous owner had them in a rent to buy situation. They had been living in the house for 3 years - paying the lawyer.
I really want to help them, but I'm not sure what the risks are. I'll be reaching out to my lawyer on Monday but wanted to see if anyone else was familiar with this type of situation.
Kind regards,
M. Metelus
