Q: I have been issued an interlocutory order in the Superior Court of California. Previously, I had a poorly documented a
Agreement with my significant other and he passed. His name is on the title as 45% owner to my 55% . I never submitted an answer to the courts to include a gift letter created for closing ….or any supporting evidence on my behalf. The referee for the property is seeking participation or we get evicted. Please advise.
A: Your description indicates there is already a court proceeding that is open regarding the title and/or possession of this property. Unclear what kind of proceeding you are dealing with- Probate? Tax lien? Whatever it is, ignoring the proceeding can only result in a judgement that fails to consider any interest that you may have in the property. You need to consult with a local attorney that handles the kind of proceeding you are involved with RIGHT AWAY.
