Eviction notice on deceased parents apartment

[lauren0309]

What is the name of your state? New York

My parents both passed away last year. They lived in a co-op. It took a year for the will to get settled with probate court. During that time I kept paying their maintenance charges each month. I was finally able to put it up for sale in August. We have not had any buyers yet and due to financial difficulties I could not afford to pay maintenance charges any longer. I now owe for the past 4 months. It is my intention to pay whatever I owe when the apartment gets sold. Last week the realtor told me there was an eviction notice on the door. What are my options? No one lives there since my parents are deceased so there is no one to evict. The co-op knows the apartment is up for sale and is vacant.

It's probably not an eviction notice, it's more likely it's a notice the co-op is foreclosing on a lien (for all the back maintenance charges).

You can try speaking to the Board/property manager and telling them your circumstances and that you'll be willing to sign something agreeing to pay them in full upon the sale, but legally, they don't have to take you up on that offer. They're entitled to their money now.

Good luck.
