Hello,
One month before my father passed away in a car accident he refinanced his home which him and I shared for 27 years of my life, it was just me and him after my mother passed. I was the loan officer that worked on my father's refinance my fathers had poor credit and reached out to a child hood friend of his for help. My father added his friend to the deed as a joint tenant in order to refinance the home using his friend's great credit. Everything went fine we had the closing and everyone was happy until a month later my father passes away in an out of the blue car accident.
Unfortunately this came of a shock to me and I began to drink heavily a few months later after my father passes I get arrested for DUI and spend six month in county jail. While my incarceration my fathers "friend" sells our home for $ 550,000 the only lien on the home was the original mortgage of $ 200,000. When I get out of jail he lets me know what he did and claims that he sold it on a short sail for
$ 225,000 and gives me a few thousand dollars in a personal check. I go online and I see that the public record shows the house was sold at $550K and that he lied to me.
Is there anything I can do legally? Sue him? Anything? If any attorney is interested in handling this case please contact me. Also please let me know if there is anything I can do, thank you.
