In CA what sort of liability (if any) does one face if they were to say go through a deceased neighbor's estate and find that taxes were paid for some 13 consecutive years but that recentmost months were late then make a payment and change the address (not name) of that person/estate to one's own in order to receive mail regarding their/the estate's property/tax?

Barely a week later, I meet 'wife's mother (who flew in from the midwest) at door who explained her daughter's boyfriend needs to stop lying to people, that his real situation is they're not yet married and were living in a converted garage and he left the kids home alone while wife was also at work and police were called because one of the kids somehow was found alone wandering the streets and subsequently placed in foster care til she (mother's mother) came to LA area to file for being their legal guardian in the interim.That LA Child Services would not release the kids back to the parents, but agreed to place the kids with a relative if the relative owned or had a lease on an apartment within Los Angeles County, so he found my Signal Hill 2-bedroom apartment (in my 2-family house) for her since they could not use the converted garage as a safe home for daughter's mother to take over the 'lease' on.

List agents list to sell on the MLS, Property Managers may have a site.Best way to list is to put on the listing that "Seller will consider creative sales", that leaves the door open for your counter offer is some investot wants to give you zero coupon bonds at face value at your asking price.Might check on the SAFE Act too, BTW. :)
