What is the name of your state? nc
Eight years ago my father paid his three sisters for their share of the family's inherited property. He had written on the check that this was for the 1/9 of the _________ estate. Now we are in a lawsuit because they want more money and or land. Are these checks considered a contract. They did sign and cash these checks.
My father passed away last year, and he does not have the deed because there are still two sisters who have not ever agreed to settle after 38 years. My father and his brother paid the taxes and paid them rent until 1998 when they cashed the checks.
Are there any former cases in nc that would give us insight?
