What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I really don't know where this should go. I live in the nice state of PA and got a potential problem that might occur in the next few years so better to get advice now while my grandmother is still living. My 89 year old grandmother is still living in her house and she is thinking about selling. Now, regardless of what happens, I think my uncle might come out on the better end, especially if she dies in the house (which health wise she is still OK so I don't foresee her dying for a another few years anyhow). I estimate they can get at least 50K for the house maybe more if it gets the much needed repairs. I know my mother is not going to get anything will wise and I am not sure if he has me and my brother in the will (my grandfather passed in December 2009, I got along better with him then I did my grandmother although I did get along with her to, my uncle has POA by the way). Now, I do not think my uncle deserves all of that money, even if she does move and die someplace else and only has X number of money left from living someplace else. From 2000-2009 It was basically me who help my grandparents out, not my uncle. Not until a year before my grandfather passed did he start helping a lot. I feel he may not give me and my brother anything using the pretext of us not helping as much as we did before in recent years to keep all the money. I feel entitled to some of it because I was the one who kept my nearly blind grandfather company for years on end and both of us had many of good times together. I am not saying my uncle should not get money, yes, I think he should get something for being the son of course to be fair. However, he has a habit as well of spending a bit to much on occasional. Another reason why I made sure I kept some of my grandfather valuables after he died.
If something happens, if my grandmother for example does stay in the house and in the sad time when she does pass away and if my uncle does try to play dirty for whatever reason and try to have me and my brother tossed out of the will, is there anything we can do to try to get some of that money away from him?
