What is the name of your state? Colorado
We have just gone to court in a mediation process (2 parties my parents vs my husband and myself).
Long story short: My grandfather was the sole owner of a home. He sold me the home Jan 2000. He died in Feb 2008. My father had power of atty in Oct 2002. In the mediation, my husband and I settled with the condition that my father wouldn't sue us again for anything, EXCEPT to check into and sue us for probate of the house we now own.
My father has never been on the title of the home, just my grandfather until he sold me the house. I pay the taxes on it every year and maintain it.
Does my father have a chance of taking my home away? I don't want my kids to be homeless. I signed it on the advise of my atty with him saying, "get this hurdle over with and get that paper saying they'll leave you alone for everything else, we'll cross the other bridge later." The mediator, a retired judge, said that there is a statute of limitations but didn't say if it was from when I bought the house or when my grandpa died.
No will has been filed in the courts and like I said earlier grandpa died Feb this year. Last I knew I was the sole heir on the will, it may have gotten changed in 2002. I don't want any of the estate my grandfather had when he died. Asking for any of it would just keep my father in my life and I just want him to leave me alone.
If anyone knows please inform me. Thanks
