SELLER WANTS TO RENEGE DUE TO SON'S REQUEST

[Lee Scarlett]

I bought a 5 B/R house in Jacksonville, Florida last Wednesday. The house had a fire & been sitting there since then, (mid 2019). There are 2 years property taxes owed. All of a sudden; within days of her signing the deed, the son claims he has paid the back taxes & plan to demolish the house & put up a quad. I checked; the taxes have not been paid.

I have known this family for many years & have a decent to good relationship with them. I did not get a chance to record the deed as yet because of time constraints last week & yesterday of course was a holiday.

I don’t think I have any legal obligation to undo this deal but…. Feedback pls..!!
