Re: collection of money

I really can't answer. I don't know what you mean by "backed the house" or if the electrical contractor was the owner or merely a contractor working for the owner. If it was a mortgaqe company and they got the property back by foreclosure and Sheriff's sale that is completely different than a situation where the contractor was working on a house for someone else. In any event, whoever is trying to get the inspection done is trying to close on the house and I think they will gladly agree to pay you for your work so that the buyers won't have to worry about the possibility of a lien on the property. Again, I'm not sure of the question and I think you should talk to a local attorney to get a clear answer.
