What is the name of your state? New York
Hi! My aunt is the sole heir of an estate--a co-op left by her husband. A few years ago, her son sent a letter to the co-op management in which he falsely presented himself as having rights the estate and threatened them that if they allowed a sale to go through he would sue them. Currently the co-op management is using the letter as an excuse not to transfer the shares from her late husband's name to her name.
The question is if the co-op is defying NY State inheritance law and can be held legally liable for preventing my aunt from taking full ownership of the estate?
Thank You!
