Opinion
No. 48A02-9704-CV-227
April 6, 1998
Appeal from the Madison Circuit Court, The Honorable Frederick R. Spencer, Judge, Cause No. 48C01-9409-MI-338.
BRIAN E. HICKS, Hicks Hicks, Indianapolis, Indiana, Attorney for Appellant.
JEFFREY A. LOCKWOOD, Eisele, Lockwood Chabraja, Anderson, Indiana, Attorney for Appellees.
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
Upon petition for rehearing, Tax Certificate Investments, Inc. challenges this court's decision. We deny the petition but write to clarify our position regarding a statement pertaining to personal jurisdiction in the context of a statutory tax sale proceeding.
Our statement regarding personal jurisdiction is not central to our holding and may have been too broad. To the extent that the opinion requires personal jurisdiction in a statutory tax sale proceeding, that interpretation was unintended. Our intent was to mandate that all joint owners receive adequate notice and that, in this case, a single copy of a joint notice delivered to the last known address of the two owners does not constitute such notification.
Subject to the above comments, the petition is denied.
KIRSCH and DARDEN, JJ., concur.
