If facts are correct and unless the debtor has a legal share in a property it will be not valid for a creditor to seek to attach or bring for sale the property owned by the debtors' wife.
as per civil law, the husband and wife are considered to be one and they share the liabilities jointly and severally. the creditor can seek attachment of property owned by your mother. you need to state all the facts and also state how would the creditor prove the payment of 60 Lacs made to your father.
