Q: I sent the demand letter with itemized list of lost items (showing good faith effort ). Now how long do they have to a.
I was a tenant in a house with a friend his dad owns the house but is in a home. His sister has power of attorney. The house burned with all the contents.when I contacted red cross for help they called the sister and she told them that I didnt live there but I have court documents that prove otherwise.they recieved 175,000 for the contents of the house some of which was mine when I spoke to the sister I asked for name of insurance company. She told me to make a list and that not to expect much and I havent heard back from her.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. If you made your list and are able to work out the property losses amicably through some sort of compromise, that's often the most cost-effective and quickest route in such situations. If that isn't possible, small claims or discussing with an attorney could be options. If there's a friendship involved, that sometimes makes non-belligerent options more appealing. Good luck
