Closing Attorney asking for new excise money after closing!?
I closed August 12. This is the e-mail I just got from the closing attorney:
THE TAX BILLS HAVE BEEN MAILED BY FULTON COUNTY. WE HAD ESTIMATED (a) INCOMPLETE. THE TOTAL BILL IS $1712.90. THE SELLER HAD GIVEN YOU CREDIT FOR $214.21 ON LINE 211 OF THE HUD SETTLEMENT STATEMENT. WE HAVE COLLECTED AN ADDITIONAL $834.12 FROM THE SELLER. WE NEED TO COLLECT A CHECK FROM YOU FOR $878.78. IN 2009, YOU WILL HAVE FILED HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION, AND THE COUNTY TAXES SHOULD BE LESS FOR THAT YEAR.

Answers:
Those figures are not correct...not even close.
Can you e-mail me with the signature of the City/State you live in?
I don't need your address to facilitate you.
You should have received a much higher credit and they are wanting alot more money from you than you should enjoy to pay.
I'll be happen to e-mail you subsidise and explain it in detail.
It wounds like the title company dropped the ball big time on this one.
TO be faultlessly blunt you would have had to reimburse it if they had gotten it right the first time..just pay envelope it....
PAY THEM! I would verify exactly what they screwed up. and get it in writting from the title company first though!
avoid haing a due lien on your property! the simple fact is they miscalculated your taxes
the fact is you would hold had to pay it at closing if they have gotten it right the first time.
Sure you can avoid paying it... but then you'll have a lien placed on your home for disaster to pay taxes.
The attorney probably calculated the taxes wrong. I work as a mortgage underwriter & closer and see it all the time. I'd voice attorneys are honestly the worst people in the world to close loans, they hold no idea what they're doing.
If you don't pay it, they'll newly not pay your tax bill and next you'll have delinquencies reported and interest and penalties added. So you ought to compensate it ASAP.
They made a good belief estimate that was wrong. You owe the money. It's one of the trials of home ownership.
