IRS Tax Liens
Scenario (using fake names): Kathy and Mike are married but separated. Kathy has a house where the mortgage is in her name only, but the title is in both names. Kathy is looking to sell the house. Problem is that Mike has $100k worth of IRS tax liens in his name. Can Kathy do a quit claim from Kathy and Mike to put the property solely in her name only in order to get around Mike's liens that are blocking the sale of the property??
If not, then what are her options?
*When i say a quit claim, I don't mean a quit claim to the potential buyer, but a quit claim from Kathy and Mike to just Kathy. So if the mortgage and title are now only in the name of Kathy will she still have to worry about the tax liens that are in Mike's name???
