Since you know what's in that letter, don't open it, it may be handy if you ever have to defend the deed, just file it.

Legal shield said they only assist defendants in law suits.

I have heard some horror stories of defendants switching jobs and residences making it hard to actually collect.This is new to me so I'm trying to look at everything as a learning experience. 

We make sure all of our paperwork is done and approved by attorneys willing to defend it in a court of law.

I'm asking because I know one property mentioned it "may" have a lien upon it, but the amount wasn't included in the total debt.The property is listed as:The Bank       Plaintiff,vs.Owners Name, Credit Union, department of motor vehicles       defendant(s). 

That being said, there's a high probability that any sale would be challenged by the daughter and you could find yourself defending a lawsuit down the road. 

I guess if these folks aren't even on a lease, they don't have much of a position to defend when the time comes to turn the unit. 

There will also be additional charge to cover the cost of delivering a copy of the complaint to the defendant." 

That being said, could you make enough money to defend yourself if a states attorney went after you?
