Q: So I was buying a house from my uncle he signed the contact and gift of equity with his daughter to witness it.
He signed it 12/17 closing was the 31st he passed on the 22nd. Now his daughter is saying we can't buy the house. Do I have any rights here. We have put 25000 into the house
A: Yes you have rights. You have a contract to buy the home and you may enforce that contract against the estate. If the daughter is unwilling to cooperate you should contact an attorney to assist you in resolving this matter.
