What is the name of your state? California
My father died apx 2 years ago. He had no will. My brother and I are the only surviving childred, ( both in our 30s). There was a 20 year old civil judgement against him that has grown to apx $450,000 with interest. My brother and I have lived on a piece of property that belonged to my father our entire lives. I was told by a probate attorney that because the judgement amount exceeds the value of his estate, the property, (and everything else) will have to be turned over to the man with the judgement. I have not signed anything even though his attorney keeps hounding me to do so. I was told yesterday by a realtor that I have squatter's rights and as long as I don't sign the property over there is nothing they can do to make me move. Does this sound possible to anyone?
