wamugold: I am going to punt on this. I know nothing about that particular situation and will not venture a guess. My suggestion is that you try to find a lawyer to give you personal advice about that.
Yea, ditto with Claw. This has several nuances and certainly laws about brokers vs. your responsibilities in this kind of case, and certainly the timeline that has gone on. Seek council.
What state you in most states have statue of limitations on how long they can bring a claim against you and if they are out then let the rough end drag but remember this is an affirmative defense so if they do you should seek legal advise and respond.
