What is the name of your state? PA
My brother in law passed away in March of 2003. My sister was denied common law marriage status. My brother in law's son from a previous marriage was appointed adminstrator of the estate. He filed a motion to recover personal property from my sister. His list contained items that soley belonged to my sister so they had to go to court again. The court awarded my brother in law's ATV (4 wheeler) to the son.
Before he passed away, he brought his ATV to my husband to have work done on it. There is money due for repairs started. We notified the son's lawyer that we have the ATV and that the bill needs to be paid before we release it. The lawyer responded with a letter stating that we are in contempt of court by not releasing the ATV.
Are we in contempt?? or do we have the right to be paid for services before it is taken from our possession?
Thank you
