Q: I was served a Summons in a Civil Action by my deceased parents mortgage company. What specialized attorney should Icall
My brother and I do not want this house. It had a mortgage on it. Both parents are deceased. I called my probate attorney in the county the house is in and because it the document we were served is for the United States District Court in Northern District of Texas, he does not handle federal (?) cases. I don’t think we should just ignore this. Not sure if an attorney can help to draft some type of response to the banks legal team.
A: I suggest you ask the probate attorney to give you his thoughts on what relief the plaintiff bank is seeking in the complaint. He/she should be able to do that just by reading it. Then you can start looking around for an attorney who handles that sort of case. I represent lenders in foreclosures and suits against borrowers and the standard collection suits would be filed in Massachusetts.
