What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MN
Back in the summer 2005 by dad passed away. My mom claims that his will leaves it all to her. He left several thousands in guns behind with many other items, larger items like a 17ft boat and a 1991 fourwheeler. Several times she has told me she didn't want to deal with the items. So I took over maintaining the items, paying for licenses on them, and putting money into them when they needed repairs. I have done this for 3 years and now she feels like she may want to sell them to cash in on the value during these economical times. I feel that I have maintained the value of the items due to her not wanting to deal with them. The biggest example is the 4wheeler. I have invested $600 (probably half of it's value) into it for repairs and paid for the licensing of it and she feels she owes me nothing. Guns would of rusted, boat would be not running, etc. Do I have a right to part ownership in these items due to her stating she didn't want to deal with them and my money and maintaince into them? Other items that may be a factor: she has had them at her house most of the time, she has a bf & 3 sons that she is spending money on all the time, she has no motivation to find the value of them besidses asking me. Any help would be very appreciated, these items mean a lot to me being my father's and my mother doesn't seem to understand that. Thank you.
