In the final statement of expenses the cousin who has taken an allegedly promised damaged car and has had it repaired for $2,500. She also goes "Christmas shoping" for silverware with a value of $1,500.
When challenged by the sisters she says the aunt promised the car, the repairs, and the silverware to her prior to her death. She does not offer any proof other than the deceased aunt's alleged verbal statement.
The sisters challenge this on the basis that no written, signed, and notarized documents exist. The lawyer is allowing the claim.
The sisters state that on the basis on no documentation that they should be entitled to their Auntie promises of "Christmas shopping" and big ticket repairs. The lawyer does not allow this.
