What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Missouri
My mother died 3/8/08. Her will named her 4 daughters as heirs. Unfortunately Mom died with no one else on the title of her house. We have just now sold her house. Our sister died 4/9/09, leaving the 3 of us girls. The 3 of us do not want to give our niece our sister's share of the money due to the fact that Niece had borrowed that amount plus from Mom while she was alive.
The will states that PR can divide, sell, mortgage as she sees fit. Can we omit niece from inheritance? If not, can we get a letter signed by her relinquishing rights to inheritance? I know this sounds greedy and selfish, but my niece was a taker and was always "borrowing" money from mom. She never paid back a dime. The 3 remaining daughters agree on this point and are willing to sign an affidavit stating such.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
