Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.
capital gains on inherited property. I've been dealing with this for about 9 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.
Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.
One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.
Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

I've dealt with this before.
I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
I went through almost the exact same thing.
In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.
Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
