Re: detinue claims for limiting access to residence

My condolences on the loss of your mother. Of course coops include the right of succession. This means you do have the right to live there and become the owner yourself. How to do this is a little more complicated, but can be accomplished easily. You are welcome to a consultation at no fee at my offices at 42 West 44th St. Please call for an appointment first (646) 591-5786.
