Q: I have a house in Puerto Rico. My step father and mom paid off the house. The house was under my stepfather's wife name.
She passed away 2 months later after they purchased the house. Since my mom paid off the house the Judge ruled that we would get half and the women's kids get half. My brothers and I don't care about that. The problem is they never answer the phone and we have a buyer and they are 8 of them. The judge ruled to sign for 3 of them in the states, but 5 of them are never available. Can we ask a judge if he can sign for the others. I think they are just being selfish and will not sign. Let me know. The buyer wants to buy and it has been going on for 6 years. Enough is enough and I feel sorry for the buyer.
A: Good morning and thank you for using JUSTIA. My only question is why have you waited six years to ask this question. Of course you can and should petition the court for said signature. As you say "enough is enough". Best of luck.
