Re: Know of a good lawyer to help with property taxes
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2022 3:16 pm
Hello - my boyfriend and I need help with property taxes and a lawyer to help us. We also need help as well as paying our water and sewer bill. We live in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. My boyfriend, Stephen, is the owner of our home, but he had a small stroke and has other disabilities that cause him to be forgetful. He's 60 years old. I'm 51 and suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, maybe ADHD and verified learning disabilities. I've been fatigued lately, so I have an appointment with my primary care doctor to check for diabetes, a thyroid condition and hypertension. I'm also getting help for "female problems" from my gynecologist. I had a pelvic ultrasound yesterday and am waiting to hear what my problem could be.
I was laid off because of the pandemic and I am attempting to collect social security disability: SSDI and SSI. A lawyer can help with that as well as the property taxes. We need help paying property taxes. My boyfriend is on social security disability. We would like help with property taxes and the water and sewer bill.
My boyfriend's disabilities, in addition to his minor stroke, are depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. He has fibromyalgia and agoraphobia. As you can see, we're both quite disabled. I called Pittsfield City Hall, and was told that in order to get out of paying property taxes, we'd have to be blind or at least 68 or get a good lawyer. As if those were the only two limitations that keep people from working!
Please get back to me with a list of resources. I'm seeking help because my boyfriend is forgetful and gets overwhelmed dealing with this stuff. I do, too. It's not fun. Anyway, thank you.
