As it turns out the other owner (now deceased) has had a couple of liens placed on this estate. One of which is by the IRS. The amounts are more than the profit I would gain from the sell of the estate. Can I just walk away from the mortgage and let the Bank foreclose on the property without any complications? I do not plan to file in probate... There is no will. Type the details of your question here by tonybo_690_587 from Madisonville, Kentucky. Aug 1st 2012
A licensed real estate attorney should answer this question for you.
I have spoken with people in this situation. You need a subordination of the IRS lien because you are part owner. If you want to keep the property, a payment pay is worked out on a negotiated lower amount. Do not go looking for an attorney, because help is free.

would renting the property cover the expenses? If so it may be a good idea to hold the property.
