My fiancee had the property taxes placed in his name for a mobile home that was owned by his ex-mother in law in Texas. He did this to help his then wife's family.
Unbeknowst to him the Mobile home has been repossed by the bank over 6 months ago and yet the local tax authorities are now sending him a bill for taxes as though the mobile home is still there.
His divorce was final over 5 years ago. Is he still obligated to pay taxes on property he doesn't own OR is no longer in existance?
Can they come after his new, recently purchased home for failure to pay the taxes on the repossessed mobile home that wasn't even in his name?

Hi Chris!
Welcome to forums!
Though the property has been repossessed by the lender, the property taxes are still listed in your fiance's name. As a result, the bills are still coming in your fiance's name. The person who now purchases the property, should contact the tax department and get the property tax documents transferred in his/her name.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
