My mom and I met with our lawyer this afternoon to tell him 'our side' of the story. Prior to our meeting, he had only read my uncle's 50-page statement of claim, so once he heard our side, he believes we can provide a strong defense. So, we can certainly fight him, but this litigation process will likely be VERY expensive. It's never easy! The next step is our lawyer will inform my uncle's lawyer that we will be preparing a defense so they know we're not just ignoring the papers. Then, we have to gather all the evidence we possibly can about his mistreatment and neglect of Oma and how happy she was with the care she received from my mom. We have tonnes of people willing to testify on our side, so we have a strong case.
In happy news, we had our home inspection yesterday and the house had no major issues. He did find 3 or 4 very minor issues, which are quite easily fixed. I'm sure any house would not be 100% perfect! He did say that for a new build, they did a very good job. He checked all the walls with an infra-red camera to check to make sure the insulation was consistent and that there was no water damage - that was very cool! So, we signed the papers last night, so the house is offically ours! We move in May 2nd - yay! I drove by the house today to see if the 'SOLD' sign was up and it was, so I took a picture :)
