<prompt> Human: Hey All,TLDR: Dads ex-wife stole a bunch of money from grandmother. Dad went into IRS debt to pay back mother. Dad dies leaving 26k in back taxes. IRS wants family property now.Im at a loss on what my next step is, so any help is greatly appreciated. My fathers ex-wife stole 60k, in the form of cashed checks, around 10 yrs ago from my grandmother when he had power of attorney for her family trust. So to pay back my grandmother, my father pulled everything out of his pension early and took a massive tax hit on the money. He was making payments on the money until he died last October.My grandfather purchased some 14 acres in the high desert of New Mexico in the early 80s, and my father started building on it 20 yrs ago. Since he went into debt, he stopped building I would like to finish what he started and keep the property in the family.Now he made his money in California but the property is in New Mexico and he lived in Australia at the time of death which means he owes CA state taxes as well as federal taxes. In total, he owes over 26k and the IRS keeps sending letters addressed to him I changed his address to my house. The latest letter said they intend to seize the land on or after Aug 2, 2015. I have sent them letters informing them of his death and have heard nothing back. Calling them is equally futile. I am a full time student working part time 22kyr with about 5k in savings, 20k in an IRA, and 20k left on a car loan. I think my options are:1. take out another loan to pay off the IRS, but Im wary of going so far in debt2. Debt consolidation companies. Do those work?3. Ask the internet for help, which brings us to the here and now. So does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Im on the phone now with IRS trying to get an extension on that Aug 2nd date. Just got off the phone and they said they cannot file an extension because I am not on his account. I need to fill out and send in form 56, which will probably take 30 days to officially be recognized, after which Ill be able to try and resolve this issue.I apologize if this isnt the right sub, but I appreciate any help on the matter.  <response>: Unfortunately you will probably need to let this one go. The property is worth less than what is owed, so if you really want it, your best bet is to let the state and feds fight over it, and once it goes up for auction, buy it for less than or equal to what it is worth instead of getting in a huge mess trying to lend the estate the money to pay its debts so that you can inherit the property or whatever legal mess this will result in.
