In June 2015, shortly before the summary process judgment, the respondent filed a complaint against the daughters in the Middlesex County Division of the Probate and Family Court seeking a declaration that the client had an ownership interest in the property pursuant to the spousal elective share statute and the Homestead Act.  A judge dismissed the client's case on the daughters' motion for judgment on the pleadings, and his opinion addressed at length and rejected the respondent's argument regarding his client's purported rights under the spousal elective share statute.  The respondent noticed an appeal from this decision to the Appeals Court.
