What is the name of your state? MN
Hi I'm speaking for my elderly landlady who may have been taken out of her long-time friends will. I'm really not sure whats going on but she has ben living with a male friend of hers that was quite wealthy. He recently died, and his will was read about 3-4 days after the funeral. Now I knew this man and knew him to be an honest and generous person and also have seen a letter of some sort stating that my landlady would receive xx dollars a month if she outlive him etc and when she dies the remaining amount will be put into his granddaughter's name. This apparently come from some trust account, I don't know the specifics. Now here's the part I just found out about...I assumed that she'd be put into the will and taken care of. He had stated that she would be taken care of when he died etc. Now one day after the funeral his son(executor I assume?) stopped by and had her sign something....she didnt know what it was and she said he was in a hurry, so she signed it like an honest old lady. 2 days later the "will" was read and she wasnt in it. As soon as I found this out I was like WHAT? this sounds very fishy to me and the fact that she didnt get a copy of it is even more fishy. He said she'd get a big fat envelope in the mail or something...It's only been a couple weeks since his death and she doesnt wanna pry too much but I find it very hard to believe that she was not put in there at all. What do you suggest she do?
