To start with, My Brother almost lost his house he owns free and clear due to overdue taxes. This is now the 3rd year he has fell behind. He had a good paying, secure job, but quit. He has no savings or future pension, just SS in 4 years at the earliest. Alcohol, cigarettes and spongey friends are his big investment. He works little side jobs to have a few bucks... and hes good till hes broke again.
We considered buying the place CHEAP from him, so he still has a place to live. But have major concerns about liability issues with some of the folks he has hanging around.
He has also offered to just give it to our son if he would pay the tax, upkeep and such, but our son has life long major health issues and on disability. I would hate for some medical group come in and just take it.
So now wondering if we can arrange to put the house in the Grandsons name who is 11.
