Confronted with a tax sale question, many lawyers spend hours researching the issue only to discover the case on point is irrelevant because of recent legislative changes. This book will save hours of research time by providing up-to-date information about this confusing area of law. In addition to providing a general overview of the subject, the book provides a coherent analysis of many of the conflicting rulings often encountered when researching or litigating real property or mobile home tax sale questions.

This brand new Fourth Edition discusses the cases decided in the seven years since the last edition and updates the changes made in some of the statutes concerning tax sales.  This straightforward and practical resource contains multiple sample pleadings to assist you in cases where you discover a defendant is in the military, is a minor, is incompetent, is deceased, or cannot be located. There are also sample pleadings for an action to set aside a tax sale or obtain tax sale coverage and an action to quiet title. Each purchase of the book will include a download of the book text and the sample forms.
