Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
I own a home in NJ. My mother and father are listed on my deed, as I purchased the home prior to getting married. Once I married, we never changed the deed. Both of my parents are now deceased (within the past two years) -- I was their sole heir. I have recently settled their estate and paid the taxes on their estate. The taxes were audited and now they are saying that I am responsible for paying taxes on my home because I inherited 2/3rds of my home from my parents. My husband and I have paid our mortgage and taxes on our own (my parents did not contribute although their names were on the deed). Is there a loophole to avoid having to pay this? Please help

This is a fairly complex question that will take some work. What you are describing does not seem correct.
Why don't you come see me. I will meet with you and go over your situation. I will explain what legal issues I see, and what I can do to assist you. I will also give you my best estimate of the cost for attorney's fees.
This will be a free consultation. After we talk, you can decide what you would like to do.
Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and let's get moving on this for you. No charge for the telephone call and no charge for the first office visit.

DISCLAIMER: Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. I have answered based upon the law of the State of New Jersey where I practice; the laws in other states may be very different, and may result in very different outcomes. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the response I gave. You can not rely upon what I have written as legal advice, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. To get legal advice that you can rely on and use, please contact me directly.
I agree with the previous Attorney that this sounds like a complex question. I would suggest that we set up an appointment so that I can discus this matter with you and review the documents.
