What is the name of your state? Ohio
My wife has been estranged from her family for over 3 years. Her Mother died in 2002 and disinherited my Wife from her Estate in the Will (father died 5 years ago). We recently received a summons from Common Pleas Court as a Defendant. Seems her Mother took an equity loan out on her house in 2000 for $89,000. Now the Bank wants the money and is suing all 3 children and their spouses. My wife did not know anything about this, and never received a cent. Her mother died pennyless. The other 2 children were named as heirs, have been seen driving brand new automobiles shortly after the equity loan was taken out, so draw your own conclusions. My wife is ok with her Mothers wishes, and did not contest the will. My question is what should we do about this summons? We certainly cannot be held responsible for this missing money, can we? What can happen if we ignore it? Should we contact the Attorney for the Bank with this information?
