What is the name of your state? New York
I have lived in this house my entire life.It belongs to my grandmother and grandfather.My grandfather died in December 2000.My grandmother abandoned the house in 1998 (and made it clear she wanted no contact with the family).My grandfather paid the property taxes from 1998 to 2000.I have paid the taxes from 2001 on.My grandmother has made no attempt to pay the taxes.She takes no responsibility for the property at all.Is the house still rightfully hers? This is the only home I have,and I have taken responsibility for it.Can the tax bill be put in my name?
