In probating a Will can the State execute a lien on a home NOT OWNED by a beneficiary? The state has put a lien in 2012 in my name on a home that I do not own that belonged to my grandmother. She has since died in 2015 and left a Will naming me as beneficiary. Can the State take that home once I probate the Will?
The state put the lien on the home because if your grandfather owned the home with your grandmother, an interest may have passed to you when he died. Also, you had a future interest in the home while your grandmother was living. If the house is your homestead, it is not likely that the state could take it.
