His girlfirend somehow behind his back was able to get this home put in her name, his name and thehouse going back to my brother when they both die. She drummed up a situation where my dad was removed from teh home adn she was given temporary possesion. He tried to take her to court and the judge from washington county blantently allowed her to commit purgery on the stand even allowed her to hide documents or not have to disclose docuemnts and he lost he case due to the judges ruling. today he gets a proposal in the mail from this women and her attorney saying that if my dad does not pay her half of the value of hte house she is going to assure the house goes to foreclosure so my brother and father can't have the house htat was intended for them and that my brother bought and deeeded to them.
