A few weeks ago I received an email from the realtor who handled the sale of my in-laws property. My mother-in-law passed away in 2017 and my husband was the executor of her estate. The email advised that there had been a mistake on the property description during the sale in 2021 and they were requesting that my husband sign a document acknowledging the mistake and approving corrections. There were two problems with this request: my husband had passed away in 2022 and I didn’t know if I had the authority to sign any documents on his behalf, and I wasn’t sure what the ramifications were if the document was signed. I advised the realtor that I would contact my lawyer and advise. So I contacted Samantha Lewis, explained the request, forwarded the email to her, and she took over. She kept me advised of her progress regularly, and after the work she performed on my behalf the realtor and his team decided that they could handle the corrections without anything from me. I recommend Samantha Lewis to anyone who needs the services of an attorney. She is conscientious, knowledgeable, and tireless in her efforts on behalf of her client.
