Approx 13 years ago, I agreed (with my sister) to put our names on the deed to a house my mother wanted to move to in Long Island, NY. I have NEVER lived in the house, nor made one cent payment towards it for any reason. 2 years ago, my mother illegally tried to sell the house without ever advising my sister or myself. She hired her own lawyers, drew up contracts, and wound up dealing with a scam artist. Once i found this out..a war began in my family between my mother and us. Now the house is in foreclosure status, and i have mortage companies harrassing me daily, despite the fact Ive attempted to explain that I have no dealings with the house. I want to the house to disappear, as I dont care what happens to it, but ive been advised to not walk away' I dont know what to do. Im married and dont want this to affect my husband financially. I am absolutely lost and Im dying to sit down with a lawyer who can help me, but no one will since we cant afford one. Can you at least advise me what my options are? Do i have any? I have NOTHING to do with this house..I could care less if it burns down..but because i was stupid enough to be trusting to my own mother, and place my name on a deed since we had good credit (then) ive gotten wound up in a horrid mess thats been going one for over 2 years and i need it to stop before i go absolutely insane!! Sorry to moan, but im at my wits end...but thank you for taking the time to read this..i do appreciate it!!
