my wife and i live in Pennsylvania. Her brother died in January 2020 without a will (intestate) and filed in county court for probate and was awarded personal representative. The house was listed and has an agreement but the title company found a property lien for unpaid work in 2014. I contacted the contractor and negotiated a $10,000. settlement but the title company states that the lien filing law firm needs to receive the check than forward to the contractor. The law firm now wants $2,500. for the lien removal processing which sounds outrageous!!
