You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It is extremely hard to understand what the situation is in this fact pattern. I am guessing that a foreclosure has been filed on the Association's Claim of Lien and a Motion for Summary Judgment has been filed. If your mother-in-law prevails on this motion she will still have to defend on the case in general. Usually, there is little chance of defeating a foreclosure action if you have not paid the monies required to be paid. She needs to seriously consider the risk she is taking and the possible consequences of losing her home for what is presumably a small sum of money.
