[quote=Anonymous]My dad passed away and did not have a will. He owned a house in Maryland that is only in his name, he was not married when he died. Me and my brohter are his only children.  My brother did the paperwork so that he was in charge of the estate.  We decided to let my dad's house go because it is in debut, run down and would need a lot of money to fix it up to rent out or sell. Neither one of us felt comfortable taking on the finanical burden of trying to keep the house and get it renovated.  My brother is handling most of this stuff.

Here's a letter I received in the mail today, any idea what this means? I can't believe they actually send letters out with this confusing language.

[i]You are hereby commanded to attach the body of "my brothers name and address are here" and he immediately have before the Orphans' Court here now holding at Upper Marlboro, in and for Prince George's County, to answer unto the State of Maryland, touching a certain contempt by his committed, in failing to comply with an order of the Orphans' Court for Prince George's Country, Maryland.
Hereof fail not at your peril, and have you then and there this writ.
That a bond be set in the amount of $1,000.00 to secure his release.
So ordered this "date is inserted here" [/i]
Then at the bottom there is a signature that is labeled "Judge"

What the hell does this mean?  [/quote]
