Heir named in foreclosure suit.

[dosthi]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I live in Colorado, suit is in Florida.

I am named in a foreclosure suit as an heir on a property that was underwater and is now being foreclosed on. The property was owned by my step-father who stopped making payments when he found out he had cancer (at 83 years old). The estate has gone through probate. Several other heirs, his children, and the condo association have also been named defendants.

How should I respond to the court?

You do not need to do so. The mortgage company is just naming every possible person or entity that could have an interest in the property so that someone cannot come out of the woodwork, after the fact, and try to undo the foreclosure claiming that they were not notified.

Thank you for your response. This is what I assumed was the case, but not being sure, thought I would ask. I tried to get some advice from LegalShield (joined after my step-father stopped making payments, but well before the suit was initiated), but haven't made much headway.

Do you think that just sending a letter stating that we have no interest in the property would be prudent?

Thanks again,

Its totally unnecessary and would have no benefit.
