He didn't ask for legal advise.
He asked for input.
There is a difference.
Legal advise isn't entertaining, input is.
Jeessh, you'd think everyone here knows you get what you pay for, and if anyone followed legal advise here without first consulting a lawyer...

He asked for legal advice. The title of the thread is, "Any Attorneys on this site? Have a question. "

Hence the "if".....
And thus asking for more details on his situation.
Yes he is asking for legal advise.....and yes I agree that can only come from a local qualified attorney.
The reason for asking for more details is.....maybe he doesn't need an attorney at all. Maybe he was offered this property at a fair price. In which case....legal advise is NOT even needed.
So thus the questions asking more detail on his situation....even though some think the only option is to pay a bunch of money to a lawyer.

True... attorneys have cornered the market on legal advice.
That said... my then pregnant sister in law was t-boned in her car on the way home from work...
My brother consulted two lawyers... both sit down consultations and one said it would not be worth his time and another wanted a retainer...
Being the smart guy he is... my brother decided to file in Superior Court without a layer... prepared all the documents, etc...
Insurance Company that would not give them the time of day and then pressured to settle with an offer didn't set well with him either.
On the day the trail was to start the Insurance Company and my brother reached settlement in the hall outside the court room and my brother never backed down... he was professional and stuck to his guns.
80k plus the cost of the car that was totaled.
My point is lawyers also have their own interests and there are individuals willing to put in the time having the aptitude can do an even better job because no one is as interested in the outcome as you are

And some people don't have a sense of humor or can catch a hint of sarcasm unless you use a smiley face or whatever you call them

HA!!! That's funny. My 82 year old Dad called me on New Years Day to inform me he was cutting me out of his will and leaving everything to my two sisters. Right out of the blue, no hard feelings from the past, probably just my two sisters crying in either ear. I'm good with it, let's me off the hook...

Ironcially enough, reading your post at 0555, my dad just called me to let me know he just hit I-81 up in Pa and is on his way down to see me.
I guess I'm lucky, I'm an only child (no, not spoiled I can assure you LMAO). At my aunts furneral a couple of weeks ago, I couldn't stay around for the funeral because I was up there for my dad taking a week off from work while she was pretty much on her death bed (with all the relatives coming for the funeral, I knew he'd be ok without me there and I had to get home). I told him for the 100th time before I left, have everyone go through the house and make a list of what everyone wants so I'm not stuck in the middle. My wife is getting tired of him bringing all his stuff down for his grandkids and then it just sits around the house. Kids went up with me a couple of months ago to see him, they brought this back and it's still sitting in the living room:laughing:

What can I say ??? My two sisters have been working on him for years, he finally caved, that's all. And what is sad, he really doesn't have much, maybe 150k all in. Anyway, I've made it on my own so far, no need for his inheritance. BTW, he lives up in NE Pa, not far from I80 and I81 crossover...
