DETROIT (AP) - Aretha Franklin could lose her home to tax
collectors.
The singer says an attorney's mistake caused her $700,000
mansion in Detroit to slip into foreclosure over $445 in 2005 taxes
and late fees.
The Detroit Free Press reports Thursday the Queen of Soul owes a
total of $19,192 in back taxes on the property through 2007. She
says she plans to pay up and reclaim it by a March 31 deadline.
A spokesman for the Wayne County treasurer's office says the
foreclosure judgment for $445 was entered earlier this month.
Records show Franklin owes $18,746 in back taxes and fees for
the 2006 and 2007 tax years, but foreclosure proceedings on those
debts wouldn't begin until next year.
Franklin's slate-roofed brick mansion was built in 1927.
