I have clients with oil & gas royalty interests that were worth practically nothing ten or twelve years ago -- then they started collecting six-figure annual payments.  I suspect in this case, the $60,000 in legal fees were worth it not for the house, but for the lifetime income stream.  It's a good idea to share all of the facts here, rather than being selective in order to encourage the answer you want.
