Do I have to sign anything at all?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
Yes, you can refuse to sign. But something has to be done; either the estate is administered and you get half of the house (or proceeds of sale of the house)[assuming only two siblings, no spouse] or else you disclaim your inheritance and your brother gets it all. If you won't disclaim, and you won't accept your half, then the estate administrator will have to turn your half over to the Division of State Lands, I suppose.

How could I deny property inheritance?

Estate Planning lawyer at Jayne L. Sebby
You can refuse to accept your inheritance of the condo. If your mother's will lists someone else as the recipient of the remainder of the estate, that person would inherit the condo. If none of your mother's heirs are willing to accept the condo, check with an estate attorney in the state in which the condo is located to determine how to dispose of it.

How much of a bill over the cost states in the Letter of Agreement do I have to pay?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett

You should discuss this with the attorney.  While he cannot keep your file, no attorney will agree to continue the matter if you have not paid your first attorney.
