What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Mexico. My sons inherited some property from their father. One of the sons currently lives on the property. This land was originally bought with 3 other people; father, his wife and another couple. All are deceased except the wife of the other couple. About 10 ten years ago she moved to another state and hasn't made any tax payments or loan payments regarding the land. The father ended up paying the land off around 4 years ago. My son has been handling the finances of all his father's accounts and estate; even the insurance company has made a payoff to both of my sons. The co-owner of the property does not want to pay back what the father paid on her behalf. My son is trying to get a copy of the check that paid off the property. The bank won't give it to him unless he proves he is a representative of the estate. Because there was is Will he has nothing on paper showing that he is a representative only a document showing that his father left his portion of the land to his only two children, my sons. How can my son get a copy of this check or prove he is the representative? He wants to put the property on the market but wants to come to an understanding with the other co-owner as to what amount should be deducted from her share to pay back her half of the property taxes and her half of the pay off.
