Hi Dee! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My father passed on * July * - unknown but ruled natural causes. Myself and my two uncles (his two brothers) are named on a beneficiary deed for the property. The brothers have initiated a lawsuit to sell the home although it was known not to be sold. I was not served and one uncle is suing for utilities and property taxes which I know he hasn't paid as my daughter has paid. It's sitting in a partial judgement to sell. I need to stop this sale and my daughter wants to be named in the lawsuit as she has directly paid for the expenses not him nor me. I am in Pima County, Tucson, AZ. What do I need to file and what is the best way of wording this?
Dee, to address this situation, you might consider:
- Filing a motion to intervene in the lawsuit, allowing you and your daughter to be recognized as parties.
- Seeking an injunction to stop the sale.
- Gathering evidence of your daughter's payments.
