Re: Refusal of Land

If the option is in writing and signed by the decedant, then you can enforce the option. I suggest you consult with an attorney. If it is not in writing you may have a problem with enforcement. That is why I suggest legal counsel would be helpful. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
