Re: property purchase
The answer depends on who owns the property. Does your father-in-law own the property, or do the "off-spring" also have an ownership interest? This may be revealed by a title search. The owner(s) of the property are the ones who would get paid and, usually, must sign the contract of sale. You might want to run this by an attorney.
