Sona Pillai v. David Scalia

A husband and wife and the wife’s mother purchased property in Westford, Mass., as joint tenants. After the spouses divorced and the mother passed away, the wife sold the property to a third party. The purchaser later sought to refinance her loan and was told of a potential title defect because there was a question of whether the mother’s descendants owned her interest in the property. The purchaser filed a complaint to address the possible issue.
