I never knew we’d have to do the court stuff I can’t even get her buried yet and to top it off my bank account was hacked and suspended but I found out her house has been in my name since she bought it so I went down and paid the property taxes on it on 1-9-26. Do I claim that on next years taxes. I am so confused</P> Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:52:13 GMT billwood1978 2026-01-20T10:52:13Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/property-taxes/01/3728885#M355051 <P>My mother has just passed 12-31, we are trying to get the will and what not going.
