I have not gone to probate
First of all i gave up everything to move to Ny to take care of my mom, and I would do it again - it was mom-I loved her dearly-she was my best friend. I moved here from CA, and have worked since I have been here but got laid off and am only collecting $200 a week. I have been fixing up the house for resale and I am presently living here. But I could not afford the $1000 a month and to rent it, it has a $3000 roof problem that would have to be fixed first and I doubt, in the Buffalo area-3 bedroom/1 bath no garage-probably about $800 a month but the roof and a few other items-leaky basement would have to be corrected. She had no insurance-either life insurance, or insurance with a mortgage because of refinancing and her age. I have been trying to sell it on my own, because of the repairs necessary and RE fees on the other side, and attorney fees and court fees. I am still going through papers and ckecking with every insurance and every place I can think of but nothing has come up. I have spent the last month, painting and cleaning and many repairs, I have spent close to a $1000 of my own money on repairs(celing,etc.) and I paid this month's rent out of my own pocket which was a thousand dollars. The reason for walking away is that, there would be little money left after being reimbursed for the money i spent and turning the property over to a realtor and with no jobs here I need to get back to CA and get my life back. I have had only 2 offers both under the mortgage amount and can't afford to stay here too much longer, I keep hoping someone would want this area, and be able to get about $10K out of it but nothing has come close and I can't stay here much longer without a job and no funds. This is my dilemma and I might have to walk away not just for the IRS problems but I can't afford to pay the Prop. insurance,and all the utilities.
