What is the name of your state? Florida
OK, this is a very complicated situation. My step-dad recently became very ill and as it looks right now, he doesn't have long left to live. The problem is that he and my mom have not gotten along well in years and he has decided to attempt to screw her over while on his death bed. He had a really nice 1937 hot rod that he has spent years customizing. In a last minute effort to ensure that my mom will get nothing (it's pretty much the only thing in his name) he signed the title of the car over to a friend of his. This morning his friend showed up with a police officer and took the car away. The only reason my mom hasn't divorced him yet is because of financial reasons (they both kind of depended on each other to make enough to pay the bills). Also, she's afraid that if she divorces him now that he will get half of the house (which is in her name and she owned prior to their marriage) and he will sign that over to a friend of his like he did the car.
My question is, is their any way she can get the car back or cancel the sale somehow? Could she claim that the medications he is on have effected his frame of mind causing him to act like a douche bag? It just doesn't seem fair that he can just give the car away like that without her having any say. I mean, isn't it a marital asset? Oh, and she has the original copy of the title to the car if that is in any way relevant.
Also, he has been sending friends over to get things out of the house when no one is home. The cop said that since they are legally married that he is allowed to give permission to friends to come in the house. The only way to stop them from coming in, short of changing the locks (which we're doing today) is for them to divorce. Is there any legal way to keep them away from the house, and if by some miracle he gets better is their any way for her to divorce him and get him out of the house without him getting part of the house? All she really wants is to get him out of her life at this point without having to sacrifice the house or anything in it. Please Help Me!!!
