British Colombia, Canada
My partner and i bought a home recently and discovered the cover up of latent defects.
we have spoken to the sellers who at first admitted guilt and told us to hire contractors to fix. When we wrote sending them invoices to pay the contractors they said that due to their declining health we should direct all further communication to their daughter. We did this and she refused that her parents had any responsibility for the repairs and declined to pay.
Our next step Is to send a demand letter before going to small claims court but my question is who do i send the demand letter to? The sellers or their daughter? Am i to assume she has power of attorney? Or ask for proof? Or do i just bypass their wishes and send them the letter directly? The other issue is i don't have the daughters address.
