Father dies sleaving two children .Each gets a house and 50/50 of remainder. One house has hazardous materials. County has filed a complaint to abate the nuisance and a mandatory injunction of the nuisance on the property.  Who pays for the abatement and cleanup? The estate or  do we transfer the property it to the son and he pays for cleanup.
