<p class="MsoNormal">Alright here is a situation that is new to me.  Client shares ownership of home with girlfriend who dies.  No will.  Girlfriend is survived only by sisters who are willing to release her interest in the home to him.  Home is foreclosed
 and yields a surplus of less than $100K.  Normally I would do a motion to get the surplus, but my client can only get 50%.  How do I get him the other 50%?</p>
