Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
No Will - Foreclosure on Property
My step father passed away in the spring of 2003. My mother filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy a month later and was discharged in late 2003. Included in the bankruptcy was real estate. Mother signed a quitclaim deed in lieu of foreclosure and now my sisters and I have received papers from an attorney stating that we must sign the quitclaim deed or be foreclosed upon. We cannot find one sister and the attorney stated that ALL sisters must sign or all will be foreclosed upon. The property has already been sold - according to the lawyer. We need to understand if we can be held liable for the mortgage. How could the bank sell the home without notifying all heirs if this is true?

Re: No Will - Foreclosure on Property
I am not a bankrupptcy attorney, but unless you have an interest in the real estate, you cannot be foreclosed upon. I will need additional information to answer your question in any meaningful way.
