Q: Now that I have a answer about the lawsuit against my brother inlaw who has passed.
Now they want my husband to settle up with them because he was sole heir. We dont know what to do!
My brother inlaw denied to his dieing breath it was untrue what my nephew accused him of but the lawyer said we owe him money for the pending lawsuit he had on going when my brother inlaw died.
Please help we need some good answer or a good lawyer to help us!
I'm not even sure what kind of lawyer we need to talk with!!
A: The type of lawyer you need is a probate lawyer who also does litigation. If you are representing the estate and the estate is in Virginia, you may use the estate's assets to pay the litigator as needed. You can find an attentive and talented lawyer by searching the Find a Lawyer function at Avvo.com.
