Supreme Court to review tax foreclosure case that challenges home equity theft
The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it will hear a 94-year-old woman’s case challenging the constitutionality of laws that allow local governments to take all the value of a home as payment for much smaller property tax debts.
Geraldine Tyler is represented free of charge by Pacific Legal Foundation, which works to end home equity theft in the states where it’s practiced.
