Re: Ideas on money that should be claimed
I just had an experience with this today. When DH and sold our house two and a half years ago, we paid the current taxes, as did the new owner (the taxes were due the week of closing). It was never pro-rated back to us as our attorney should have done. About a year ago I got a call from the current homeowner telling me that the tax office kept mailing her about an overpayment, and she knew it wasn't hers. I just finally got a promise from the tax office today to send it back to me ($470!) after I had been trying to get the necessary paperwork (unsuccessfully) from my former mortgage lender.
I could have never known it was there!
