We have the same sort of situation up here, and even more ironic is that both properties are also listed on the internet as rental units.
Married couple, both names on deed, have actually 3 parcels I know of and claiming homestead on two.
Now after Mr. Salmon went on TV yesterday and asked everyone to report fraud don't you think this is a timely discussion?
I think this is even a bigger fraud perpetuated upon the state then the other stuff.
