Re: I have been accused of stealing property from an estate and am being sued

You need to meet with an attorney ASAP. The "answer" that is filed is a formal response to the papers you were served with. Your question did not indicate the value of what was allegedly taken or whether you have been sued in small claims or circuit cort. Regardless, it is important that the answer be filed in the correct form and with the correct information. It is not the kind of thing that can be handled over a website, because each answer is customized to the particular claims made by the plaintiff.

Our office offers a low cost initial consultation, and can assist you with responding to this lawsuit.
