Hello wasn't:

Your option is to pay or get levied.. If your laws are the same as what we have in the US, the sheriff will SEIZE your property and bank accounts UNTIL the judgment is satisfied...

excon

There are many questions here. What is your general locale (laws vary by area)? Are you the executor of your parents estate? How long ago did your parents pass? Why was a default judgment issued, wasn't the estate informed of the action? Has the estate been distributed? Was the estate probated?

YOU personally should not be held responsible for the debts of the estate. However, if you are the executor and you distributed the estate wrongfully, then you could be held personally responsible.

If OP is living there, I suspect he/she is using the term in the sense of a home on real property, not a probate estate. And the expression "council rates" suggests to me that this is in the UK.

If so, it appears that this is some sort of a tax against real property. If so, it is doubtful that a levy upon property other than the estate is in the offing. And 14 days seems very quick.

But with the limited information given, it is hard to say.

I think the OP has had trouble finding their way back here
