My brother and I have received a Warrant of Citation to appear at Sheriff court. It's related to an equity release my late father took on his house, and the purpose is for his house to be possessed by the firm to whom he owes the repayment. Neither my brother or I want to contest the possession as the house isn't worth much more than the repayment value. Do we have to appear in person in court? Or what are the consequences if not? It's in my brother's home town but I'm at least 5 hours travel time away and don't have spare annual leave for the trip. Thank for any advice.
