Anyone know anything about real estate law?

I was sent a certified letter from the woman who bought my house (we closed 5 months ago). She states that she is now having plumbing problems and wants me to contact her to "resolve" the issue. They had an inspection done and had a final walk through. I know nothing about any plumbing issues with our house. Should I call her back? My sister said I should respond or it looks like I'm hiding something. My father-in-law says to ignore it. Any opinions?

Just because she sent you a certified letter doe not mean that you have any liability or responsibility for their plumbing problems.
They had an inspection, no plumbing problems were detected, buyer beware, end of story,

The problem with not responding to it is that she will probably not give up, and will keep bugging you about it, but you have no legal responsibility to answer.

You can either respond with a nice certified letter of your own, declining responsibility and politely but firmly requesting that she not contact you any further, or you can ignore her in the hopes that she will go away.

Unless you had "will pay for plumbing repairs" in your contract you are under no obligation to do anything about it. she bought the house, it belongs to her now. Plumbing and other issues are her responsibility.

I say write her a letter telling her that.

This happened to my in-laws. They sold their house and several months later the roof leaked. The new owners tried to sue my in-laws trying to get them to pay for the new roof but they lost. My in-laws didn't have to pay for the repairs.

She's looking for money. Simply respond to the letter with exactly what you put here- you purchased the house with an inspection right, which you exercised, and a walk through, which you also did. If you have any further issues you should contact my attorney, and then identify your lawyer.

Contact her and tell her its not your problem and your not responsible for any problems occuring after you sod her the house. Just plain common courtesy goes along way
