Senior Property Tax Dispute Assistance

I am a senior homeowner facing a sudden $100,000 property-tax escalation after the tax-lien buyer covered two years of taxes and then dramatically increased the amount due. My immediate goal is to dispute this escalation, keep my home, and arrive at a fair resolution through mediation rather than costly litigation.

Here is what I need from you:

• Case review & strategy
– Examine the lien purchase history, payment records, and any correspondence to confirm whether the escalation is lawful and properly documented.
– Identify statutory protections for seniors in my state or county that may limit fees, penalties, or interest.

• Document preparation
– Draft a clear, evidence-based demand letter and supporting exhibits challenging the escalation.
– Assemble a mediation brief outlining my position, legal citations, and proposed settlement terms.

• Mediation services & negotiation
– Represent me (or coach me) during mediation sessions with the tax-lien buyer, aiming to reduce or eliminate the inflated balance.
– Negotiate alternative solutions, such as a payment plan, interest reduction, or lien release.

• Ongoing guidance
– Advise on follow-up steps if mediation fails (administrative complaint, court filing, or referral to a state ombudsman).
– Provide realistic timelines, risk assessment, and regular progress updates.

I will share all deeds, tax statements, buyer notices, and prior payment proofs once we begin. Experience with property-tax liens, elder-law considerations, and dispute mediation is essential. If you have a successful track record in similar cases, I’m ready to work together immediately to keep me in my home.
