Podcast Episode 90 – Christina Martin on Home Equity Theft

Christina Martin, Senior Attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, joins us to talk about what she calls “home equity theft” – the practice in some states of a taxing jurisdiction foreclosing on a tax lien and, in the process, forfeiting all the owner’s remaining equity in the property – no matter how small the tax lien or how large the remaining equity. The most vulnerable in our society are also the most likely victims. Ms. Martin discusses where this happens, why it happens, and why she is motivated to stop it.
