Real Estate / I was adopted - what are my rights? Property inheritance in Poland [11]
I have lived in Polen from age one to 10. My mother had married a man who came from poland and had several properties. He adopted me and gave me his name.
My Father died when I was 10 (1956) therefore my mother and I went back to Germany where me and my mother where born.
Since then we found out that we are now capable to take back our properties.. I visited in 2003 and found out that the properties had been managed by a Lady who my father had hired before he died..she had been working for him.when my mother and I lived we had no Idea.. the inheritance had been handed down to my mother, she too died in 2010..a lawyer I hired to look after this affair had been in communication with a lawyer in Polen, he said that the old women had sold the property and forged our name for selling the property, the money had been given we assume to her kids, the old lady died recently.. what can we do??
if anyone has any similar problems let me know.. I do think that this lawyer I hired had not played with the right cards.. I assume there is more to the story.. I like to know my rights.. the lawyer indicated to me that there is nothing I can do now..
