Minnesota Tax Forfeiture Process

[Jim1348]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota

-My mother put her single family home in her name and the names of all three of us adult children over 10 years ago.

-It is listed as Joint Tenancy.

-There is no mortgage on the property.

-About 5 years ago our mother passed away.

-A month or so later one of my sisters had an attorney prepare a Quit Claim Deed giving me her 1/3rd interest in the property.

-My other sister started a Partition Action and eventually we agreed that I would sell my interest of the property to her.

-My sister never purchased my portion of the property.

-The property taxes are delinquent.

-The county will likely sell the property in May 2017.

-If there is an outside bidder, would my sister and I split the proceeds, if there are any, after the property taxes are paid?

-My sister owes me money, may I place a lien on the property?

-If I were to place a lien on the property, would my lien be a superior lien before she would get her 1/3 and me my 2/3?

-if there is no outside bidder, do counties try to sell the property by some other means?

If none of you pay the property taxes you are all going to lose the property. The county is not going to sell/auction the property for more than they are owed.
