What is the name of your state? Texas
First I would like to thank you so much for this forum.
Scenario: There was a property dispute in which my father was charged with assaulting the gentleman that his grandaughter (the property owner) was in the dispute with. Both cases were tried together, for some unknown reason. She lost the property. My father was ordered to pay restitution, which he did not. The gentleman placed a lein on another piece of propert that my daughter owns. My question is can he legally do this.
There was a jury trial and both cases went to the other gentleman. My father is not the owner of the land and never has been. My daughter is an adult and the question is, how can she be held responsible for her grandfather's debt. We filed an appeal and our attorney stated it was denied. He never gave us paperwork to support that decision and now she (my daughter) stands to lose her only inheritance. We have spent much more money than the property is worth. I know that when fight on principal it will cost. What can I do?
My family had stated all along that if the land belongs to this gentleman, he could have it. We paid the taxes every year. All documentation pointed to us being the owner but the judge would not hear it. I am at my wits end wanting to close this and not let a young adult have this burden that has been going on since 1999.
Thank you so much for your response.
