What is the name of your state? PA
My mother died 12/02. My sister and I were co-executrixes of her will. A property in her name and my sister's is going into foreclosure. I was recently served papers saying that I am a 1/4 owner of this property. This is when I discovered that the deed did not specify right of survivorship. It has always been thought to have been inherited solely by my sister. Nothing to the contrary was ever pointed out by the lawyer for the estate and on the Schedule F Joint Property filed the property is indicated went to my sister. The lawyer handling the foreclosure for the bank says they need a quick claim deed from me signing over my interest in the property to my sister to remove me from the complaint. If I do this, can the bank come after me as co-executrix of the estate in the event of a default judgement?
