Robert stated we inherited one home at 694 Collyer. However, he did not mention it was a multiple property sale when he needed authorization to sell the home. My employer, a real estate investor had me take the release form to a real estate attorney in Princeton. This was necessary because the release included a clause that stated I would be giving up my rights in the matter of the sale if I signed after a specific date. That date had passed prior to the sending of the document for my signature! Signing that would essentially be agreeing that I gave up my rights! I received two mailings and both said the samething and both were for the same property. The documents were examined, a notation was made by the attorney and only one was returned to my brother. I then heard that the judge did not like the release and so it was sent again. So we have a form that was send to my brother's attorney that has my signature, rejected by the court and given back to this attorney and then a new form given to the court. California Law stipulates that all property owned by the deceased be reported to the Probate Court. If my father sold 732 Collyer for $175,000 cash at the same time he sold his home to the Johnston family, this needs to be clarified because someone is trying to make it look like it was part of the same sale. They have represented that Mr. Johnston purchased both properties! Why?
