<prompt> Human: My husbands mom passed last year. His sister lives in the house and wants us to help pay Morgage. She has missed a few Morgage payments since then. Were not going to give her any money. Theres no will so the case is currently in probate. Im asking this here because the lawyer she hired is shady and we dont have money for a different one because we have a newborn. So were located in Wa and Im wondering if theres a way he can stop the house from going into his name? Thanks in advance! Assistant: Just curious as to why you would refuse the proceeds from the mothers estate? If the assets get liquidated as part of the probate process youd in essence be throwing away free money. Human: Theres 140,000 left on the mortgage, we are moving out of state and want nothing to do with that debt. Morgage hasnt been payed for a few months and it could be possibly be getting put in forcloser. We wouldnt get anything from selling it because its ran down and needs alot done to it. She doesnt really have anything of value to sell to put towards the house anyways.  <response>: What is the market value of the house?
