<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, folks –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a probate where the main asset is a piece of real property. The will directs that it be sold, and the PR is in the process of doing that. The property has two mortgages on it, but when it is sold there will be ample assets to pay
those off and have some assets left for the beneficiaries. There is very little cash in the estate, so we have not attempted to make the monthly mortgage payments.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It took a while to get to market because a lot of clean up and an eviction were needed first. We have been subjected to a barrage of letters from Select Portfolio Servicing, demanding mortgage payments and threatening foreclosure. They
seem immune to our multiple requests to hold off on these demands and threats while we have a reasonable to sell the property and pay off the loans.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone out there have any advice about how to deal with this? Should we spend our scarce cash to bring the payments up to date? Is foreclosure really likely to happen anytime soon?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sharon <o:p></o:p></p>
