Re: Inheritance

Thank you for your inquiry.

You may be able to receive your 1/3rd back, but I must learn many more facts (i.e., how long have you owned the house?; is there a mortgage? etc.)before drawing any definate conclusions.

As it would be my pleasure to speak to you regarding your potential divorce, please feel free to contact my office at 732 246 0909 to discuss same.

Very truly yours,
