What is the name of your state? Louisiana
A friend has been divorced for over two years. They have been fighting in court for a house and property. The court told her to pay her husband off. To do do she had to get a loan from a bank. The loan has been approved but now she finds that the exhusband did not pay the taxes on the property. Who is liable for these back taxes her or him?
Thanks

What did it say in the divorce decree about who got the house?

If it just says ma gets the house, then she would have to pay the back taxes.

There may not be a clause in the divorce decree that says anything about this though; read it thoroughly to find out.

Whose name is on the deed? They're people who are on the deed are responsible for the property taxes. Between those people the court could make one responsible to reimburse or indemnify the other.
