William R asked:


My mother who is in her late 80’s has had property left to her from her mother some 60 years ago. I need to make contact with someone familiar with the island of Lemnos Greece and familiar with Greek laws and real estate rules. There has been contact with the island within the past 10 years or so but nothing recently. I need help to locate exactly where the property is on the island before I make a trip there to decide what to do with it. I would like to clear this matter up while my mother is still alive. I had contact from someone named Toula from Lemnos but losy her info. Toula if your out there please contact me again. A lawyer or real estate person with Greek contacts in or near Philadelphia would be very helpful, or someone from the island who has contacts there. I can pay a little if help developes into resolving this matter. Thanks!

Does anyone have problem with Yahoo! Real Estate when using Firefox? The map display does not come out right where there is no map at all and the images where the houses are supposed to be are shown only with box frames. I’m using Firefox 2.0, had version 1.5 with the same problem as well. But it works right when I use it with IE.
I had firefox 1.5 and had the same problem with it. I then decided to update to 2.0 and the problem still persists.

I thought it might be a Java issue, and updated to the latest version earlier, still same problem.

It works fine with Yahoo! Map Beta, which I think is newer than the map display used by Real Estate, but for some reason the map just doesn’t show up in Real Estate; all I get are lots of empty box frames where the images should be.

To put it briefly, My retired inlaws met a reator who convinced them to buy a bigger house. with a mortgage payment which is more than they bring home in a month. The realtor had them refinance their current house and take all the equity out and put it down on the new house. My inlaws were under the impression that their old house was being sold and they were getting an advance on their equity. It has been 7 months and the old house has not been sold. I found out that it was never even put on the market and their isn’t even a sign in the yard. To top it all off, I found out that they couldn’t get qualified for a bigger house on a fixed income so the relator found someone to cosign their loan. Now there is someone who they don’t know on the title for the new house with the $130,000 equity. What can I do to help them?
