I am a trustee of a 20 unit building in Massachusetts. We have one unit that is 9 months behind in condo fees and late fees (totals about $2100). The unit owner stopped paying in Aug. 2011. I have sent delinquent letters at least every other month since then. In Jan of 2012 the unit owner's son called me to tell me that his mother, the owner, died in November and he would start making payments. This unit is rented and has been collecting rental income every month. As of April, I have yet to see any attempt to pay what is owed my condo association. I don't want to go to the expense of hiring a lawyer to put a lien on the unit, unless absolutely neccessary. How can I figure out who the lawyer is that is handling the estate? Also, what other options do I have to collect this amount?
