I got a letter from the county to attend court.

Only about an hour away from Windsor!

Longer you delay longer filing with the courts the longer she gets to live in your house for free.

Let them know that you’ve been appointed as your mother’s court-ordered conservator/guardian and that all matters regarding rent, maintenance, and communication will now go through you.

They told me they took Pad Split to court over doing this but the owner didn’t show up in court.

Take a deeper dive into online records, court filings, and social media, and knock on doors to see if any neighbors know where they ended up.2.

You should have some good economic reason for converting it.There is no court case or regulations specifically prohibiting this, nor telling taxpayers they can do this, from my experience, but again, you asking this question and it feeling a little "too good to be true" is usually a sign the IRS may scrutinize something like this, especially if done repeatedly. 

For those of us invested in Cleveland, removing the old Housing court judge, would mean a tremendous boost in rental value.

Doing proper research — looking at the chain of title and checking the NY court system — gives you an edge most first-time buyers don’t have.I actually maintain a Brooklyn Pre-Foreclosure dataset (updated Oct 2025) that pulls verified filings straight from the New York State Unified Court System, showing dates of default, mortgage balances, and more.

So again, talk to an attorney, but I would probably just go to court and see what happens.
