We got a threatening letter from a legal firm yesterday. We have 3 days to respond (or else). It seems thier client encountered a title problem on the property which was sold by my MIL's estate in 2005. Current owner did not purchse from MIL's estate. The problem is a 3rd party claims to have an interest in the property and wants a very large sum to release thier interest. The 3rd party is a semi-estranged BIL. We believe two layers of title insurance plus probate process should protect us from being sued. Additionally, there is some thought that deceased SIL had co-sighned with MIL to acquire the property prior to marrying estranged BIL, and BIL has no interest in the property by way of marriage.
Yeah, I know we probably need a lawyer and it will cost us just to inhale/exhale.....but we feel like we should proceed methodically. One of many really annoying details is the letter was directed only to DW and thier are 10 other heirs and she is not Executor. Letter claims DW recieved $100% of proceeds.
Thoughts?
