Hello out there;
I posted a probably too long message here (about two posts down from this one) titled "We Beat'Em In Appellate Court and We'll Beat You Too". If someone would be willing to scroll down to about the bottom of that post where I have numbered the questions I really need help with, I sure would appreciate some input.
I am obviously not very legally knowledgeable. In fact if you see my questions and realize they are more suited to another area, please let me know that if you could.
Sad to say my very legally adept sister and her even more talented daughter always planned to steal from me my one third interest in a house that my father left as part of his estate that was to be divided among us 3 in equal one third shares. But my sister and her daughter installed themselves in the house, refused to allow the house to be sold, refused to buy me out, and refused to be bought out.They even refused my husband's offer to do repairs of damage they caused through neglect of the property (they were not even paying rent) while my sister runs her fraud scheme and collects SSI ( I guess that is another thing that really makes me angry - while she gets to go to top specialists of her choosing for her self induced problems and phonied-up "ailments", I am stuck having to try to figure how not to let her rob me of the money from this house that would be so useful now that my fairly recently diagnosed medical conditions have been determined to be quite a lot more serious than was originally believed. They chose to let 5 years of back taxes and garbage bills back up knowing that after we pay our own property taxes, we cannot afford to pay the property taxes for them too. So now this five years is almost up and the tax collector will be entering the picture which was part of their plan from the beginning I believe. Either to try adverse possession, quiet title, or who knows, anything so they can beat me out of what little they didn't squander of the estate assets for the 5 + years of probate battles they insisted on waging with a will contest, suing the public administrator, trying to have judges disbarred, etc.
They are well known in our county for loving to thumb their noses at judges, attorneys, court personnel, etc. Most of the time they manage to stay, barely, within the law, although my sister usually snaps and is banned from whatever legal proceeding she has involved herself in at the moment. Then her daughter makes a good show of courtroom restraint and decorum, sounds like a little girl (voice only)- then wham! bam! dust clears and they win the case!
No attorney within at least 100 miles would touch the case with those two involved. Partition of course has been suggested, I couln't afford the retainer even if I was willing to go that route. I have been told that from the looks of court files, my sister and her daughter would do everything including appeals to make that the longest partition in the history of the country--that even if the house was worth twice as much, there would be nothing left.
Oh, heck I went and made this one too long, too! I guess it's obvious I am pretty desperate. Please help if you possibly can.
Thank you in advance.
