My question involves real estate located in the State of: California
Hello all. I need some advice please: The California’s Monterey County Tax Assessor / Tax Collector Office has pulled money out of my checking account in error and I need some advice please.
In April of 2016 by two siblings and I sold an inherited property in Pacific Grove, CA. I was the sole signer on the seller’s documents on behalf of the family trust. Due to all the things that were going on with my father's death and the settling of his estate we, admittedly, failed to file the parent child exclusion (Proposition 58, 1986).
In early 2017 I received a notice of lien on my primary residence (San Diego County) in the amount of ~$2500 for tax year 2014/2015. Upon investigation, my siblings and I realized that the parent/child exclusion had not been filed. We filed the paperwork and paid the $175 penalty fee. After a few months, the lien was removed and I did in fact receive a Remove of Invalid Lien.
A month later, I received another lien for tax year 2015/2016 in the amount of $3000. Imagine my dismay when I received this new lien as the paperwork has clearly been filed allowing for the release of lien for tax year 2014/2015. I called Monterey County Assessor / Tax Collector Office (831 755-5875). I explained what was going on and was assured that all would be cleared up it just may take a while.
Now, a month later, I have received a letter from my bank saying they were served with a legal order in the amount of $3000 from the Monterey County Tax Collector against my account. The money was taken plus a $125 processing because they had to process it as a legal order.
I am a victim of bureaucratic incompetence. I want my money back, including the $125 AND protect my credit rating!
What do I do? Can I handle this myself? Do I need an attorney? Do I have to sue? If so, can I be compensated for legal fees?
Your time and consideration in this matter is appreciated. : )
