Hey.
I know this probably isn't the best place to post this, but you guys are all older than I am with likely much more experience in this area. And I also know you guys are intelligent so I figured I'd just give it a shot.
So, long story short, my parents, with whom I'm living with, recently got separated. The 3 of us all own the house we were living in in equal shares. I don't want to get too personal but I take care of my mom here, and he's been gone for over 2 months. We had a verbal agreement that he would sign off the deed in exchange for the vehicle (which he and my mother co-owned.)
So we got a lawyer and started the process, including sending several certified letters to his new house. However, he has since met a woman who is trying to undermine the agreement. Frankly, she seems unhinged, doing borderline harassing things like leaving threatening notes in our mailbox. My mom's ex-husband has not answered any of the certified letters sent from our lawyer or done anything to remove himself from anything related to the property.
So, here's the kicker. Today's threatening letter said they are coming tomorrow and changing the locks on the house. He's been gone for over 2 full months. We had the verbal agreement and there was an exchange of keys signifying the agreement (he got the car key while we got his house key.) Yet he and this random woman are probably going to show up here tomorrow, possibly with a local deputy and try to intimidate us. They've tried that unsuccessfully in the past but honestly I do not trust the local law enforcement in this matter.
So, I'm wondering what you guys would suggest, or at least some sort of thing to consider or think about. We're trying to get our lawyer's cell phone number as he is gone for the weekend and we foolishly do not have his cell number to contact him for emergencies. Our lawyer informed us that he can't come back and do that, yet the state police told us we can't keep him off the property, but there's got to be some sort of action we can take. We've told him not to come back and he's agreed over 2 months ago, yet they continue to harass us.
Any ideas here? I'll give more details if they aren't too personal. We really just never want to see this guy again and be left alone.
