Co-Op Interfering with Ownership Rights

[TekWiz]

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!

Not even remotely.

and can be held legally liable for preventing my aunt from taking full ownership of the estate?

While I doubt it, to be absolutely sure, what does the Surrogates Court Order say about share transfers/sales?

Thank You!

Welcome!
