Hi,

My name has turned up twice on property that was purchased by my stepmother prior to my father's death (in a community property state.)
It came up as a "judgement of possession". One of her children wants me to quit claim it over to him and has had several lawyers send intimidating letters, etc. My question is, doesn't this just mean they want the property for free? Can I just ignore the requests or ask for payment instead? I was told by a local resident that the land is valuable.

Thanks,
Ms. B

My first and strongest advice would be to consult an attorney of your own. An initial consultation is often free.

Secondly, I'm not entirely sure what the term "judgement of possession" means but as far as the value of the property, it would more than likely be in your best interest to at least contact a local real estate agent and ask for a comparative market analysis.

I would wonder if your step brother isn't hoping that you are naive enough to just sign the property over to him.
