Basically several years ago my brother borrowed $40,000 from my parents to fight for custody of his kids. My parents didn't have that kind of money just laying around so they took a mortgage out on the property/house. He paid back a bit of it (though no where near the original amount borrowed, so factoring in the interest on a 15 year mortgage he still owes a ton of money). Well the problem is my dad died a couple years back and since then my brother has "disowned" my mother and the rest of us by proxy. Considering they were lending the money to their son they didn't make him sign a contract, so is there anyway legally to get him to pay back the money he borrowed?
I'm 23 and the money was borrowed something like 9 years ago. I am now stuck paying the note on the mortgage that I didn't see penny one of. My mom still receives a bit of Social Security Benefits, but it only adds up to something like $1200 a month. The mortgage is something like $490 and on top of that I am paying about half the bills in the household. I am tearing my savings apart trying to keep this house running and it's getting to the point that I just want to abandon ship and to f*** with the consequences.
So once again is there any legal way I can get back the money my brother should have payed towards the mortgage of the house?
