Tax Deed Indemnity Fund Petitions
Each Illinois County is required to maintain an Indemnity Fund to compensate property owners who lose equity when a County issues a tax deed to property for unpaid property taxes. Obtaining money from a County Indemnity Fund requires a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer to file and prosecute a lawsuit against the County.
David Gray, Jr., has successfully recovered judgments from indemnity funds for many property owners who lost equity to tax deeds. On occasion, owners of lost property can use the proceeds of an indemnity award to recover the property that was lost and may be able to remain in possession while the indemnity case is pending.
