She signed a five-year agreement that renewed in July 2018 for another five years. Cost is about $1,800 over five years.

They can bill me but the invoice will not be paid. If they sue (I doubt they would) my argument would be that I didn’t sign and the one who did didn’t have my authority therefore it’s not valid. I could offer 10% if they call it a day but I’d be reluctant to even do that.

Any opinions whether my case is strong?
No - could you imagine if that was how business worked? "Well, Bill signed that agreement last year, but he retired last year. I'm not honoring that agreement anymore - Bill's not around anymore!"
