Lawyer Tells Seniors: Government Can TAKE Your House 4 Ways in 2026!

🚨 There are FOUR ways the government can legally take your house
in 2026. And at least one applies to you—whether you're wealthy,
middle class, or living on Social Security.

Last year, a 74-year-old woman lost her home. She owed $6,200 in
property taxes. The county sold her house to a private investor.
She lost a $200,000 house—and all her equity—for a $6,200 debt.

I'm a lawyer, and I'm going to show you all FOUR legal pathways
the government uses to seize homes from seniors.

THE 4 THREATS:
1. Property tax foreclosure (Texas: lose home after ONE YEAR)
2. 2026 estate tax sunset (exemption CUT IN HALF January 1)
3. Medicaid estate recovery (government takes house after death)
4. Reverse mortgage default (can't pay property tax = foreclosure)

In this video:
Real story: Illinois woman lost $200K house for $6,200 tax bill
Texas law: foreclosure starts after just ONE YEAR behind
NYC resumed tax lien sales (first time since pandemic)
January 1, 2026: Estate tax exemption drops from $13.6M to $7M
Medicaid takes your house after you die to repay nursing home
Reverse mortgage: still owe property tax or lose everything
Relief programs EXIST but nobody tells you about them
Action steps for EACH threat (how to protect yourself)

CRITICAL DEADLINES:
December 31, 2025: Last chance for estate tax gifting strategies
Property tax: One missed payment can start foreclosure
Medicaid: Must plan 5 years BEFORE nursing home

Every one of these threats is PREVENTABLE if you act now. But the
government won't warn you. Banks won't help you. You must protect
yourself.
