Q: Listed on deed of deceased fathers property. It was sold without my knowledge. They want me to sign away my rights to it
I had to knowledge of being listed on deed. I was told 20 years ago I had no claims to to my fathers estate by a local attorney. Now I find out I’m on the deed with strangers whom purchased it and they want to sell it so they are asking me to sign relinquishing any rights to the land. I was left out by siblings on both the sell of his property and his insurance money.
