What is the name of your state? California
My mother-in-law died this past April. She had a rather large estate, but no will and/or power of attorney, to our knowledge. She lived in Arkansas at the time and owned a business. She was also collecting monies on a note, (bill of sale) that was from a business sold in California. The question I have is how can we protect her estate without the boyfriend getting everything? He has not cooperated, not even as much a phone call to discuss what should be done with the estate. Also, mother-in-law purchased a motorhome, (which was being paid via automatic withdrawl from her personal account). This bank account was only used to receive pension payments from ex-husband and to make payments on this motorhome, to our knowledge. If the payments were continued to be paid out of this account, and he still has this motorhome, can we collect monies that have been used from this account to pay on the motorhome? He has not once contacted us to discuss her estate and we are getting an attorney, just taking some time to come up with retaining fee. You should know that this was a 5 year relationship with boyfriend and all purchases were in mother-in-laws name. His name is on NOTHING.
The purchasor of the California business has not made a payment in over 6 months. He is in breach of contract right now. What can we do to recover this loss.
Sorry, this message is kindof a mess and any information would be helpful. Thank you so much...
