Idaho City, ID asked in Foreclosure and Real Estate Law for New York

Q: My husband and sister-in-law inherited a property in Jefferson New York. Need to foreclose, who would be a good lawyer?

Sold property in 2005 on 30 year contract to family member and his wife. Received payments until 2008, and then had several payment in default. Between 2005 and 2008 Mortgagees took out home equity loan with bank. Paper was signed to allow this to happen. Later on they apparently needed more money, and went to Citi so they could pay off the home equity and have 50K. Some how Citi assumed first was paid off and loaned money. In 2013 Mortgagees separated and eventually got divorced and no payments were made since 2013. Court awarded property to family member and he agreed to pay mortgage. Again, no money since 2013. Citi sold their interest by Quick Claim, and now we need to foreclose and not sure who to use. Sister-in-law resident of New York where property is located and my husband is resident of Idaho.
