I invested in two pieces of land with my father between 2005 and 2007. My father and mother sold one piece without splitting the profit as agreed, and later, in 2013, my mother, brother, and father borrowed money using my remaining land as collateral. I sold the land in 2022 for $20,000 less than its worth without knowing about the loan. My father passed away in November 2022, and in March of this year, I was served papers for breach of contract. I need to file an answer and include my mother and brother as third parties by the end of the week. How do I add them as third parties in my answer?
