My life-partner of 28 years and I want to downsize by selling our current home and buying a smaller, cheaper property. We've been living in a house that we've been paying the mortgage for, but it's in my partner's son's name. We've asked him to add my partner's name to the deed for over two years, but he hasn't done it. I have a significant tax lien that prevents me from being part of this transaction. What is the best way to handle this situation to ensure we get the proceeds from the sale without financial burden or impact on the son?
