Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania
Inherited Property
My father in law and mother in- law passed away and he apprarently had a property with no will which his wife inherited before she passed away. He had 13 children which 12 are still alive. My husband is the youngest child and for some reason he inherited the property or shall I say the foreclosure judgment becasue he had no idea of what the situation was regarding the property. Please keep in mind that his older siblings lived and the house and occupied it as their primary residence up until the house was taken from them. Is he the only one that inherits this judgment? Is there something he can do to have it removed?

Re: Inherited Property
You asked a question that seems to be about a foreclosure.
Unless a person was responsible for the debt that secured the property that was foreclosed then there can be no foreclosure responsibility.
If the property was probated then go back to the attorney that handled probate and have him handle the matter. If there was no probate the the property did not actually pass to the heir but ceded. Unless the heir claims the property he cannot own it. In other words, unless the heir took ownership then the property was owned by the estate when it was foreclosed and not the heir.
Contact an attorney to get help with this matter. You certainly don't want a foreclosure on your record and it doesn't sound necessary.

Roger
