It is a very protracted and complex case, but I shall summarize best I can:- husband caused the fire and committed suicide- insurance claim denied due to arson- wife filed bad faith claim against insuror under innocent spousal relief argument- insuror still refused to pay claim- wife exhausted all resources; abandoned further claims against insuror- city deemed property uninhabitable and issued demo order (lien)- property demolished along with the solar panels- husband was the sole lessee of record on the solar lease- wife submitted death cert to solar lease co.- bank just recently issued cancellation of debt to wife for 1st mortgage- wife wants to wash hands of it all and sell vacant lot to meMy discussions with the public adjuster I brought on the case was that since the property no longer exists, the solar lien is wiped out, but I'm not sure.
