Civil Claim after Criminal conviction

[barnsydog]

Hello can anyone help, I have been involved in court proceedings with my stepson for 7 years, He is the administrator to a deceased estate, there is a property that I am joint owner of, He will not allow me to sell it, I pay the Mortgage I pay the council tax I do not live in the property but I maintain it at my expense. Things have got heated and I was charged and convicted of harassment, I was fined had to pay victim compensation and given a suspended prison sentence. I was told not to contact him again, How do I sell the property if I cannot contact him? His Solicitor ignores my requests. I contacted him and now his solicitor says he is taking civil action against me for the contact using the criminal case as evidence. He says he wants £25,000 compensation. Can he do this? I am at my wits end and do not have any money for solicitors. I believe his solicitor deliberately ignores my requests to force me to contact my stepson.....Needless to say relations have broken down irretrievably
