What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? washington
My father died 3 weeks ago. About 10 to 15 years ago he bought an expensive motorhome for he and my mother to use. She got sick, and they couldn't use it. He told me after he realized they couldn't use it that, "I am giving this motorhome to the whole family. You have to take turns using it, and you are responsible for gas, insurance, and upkeep if you use it." After he died I thought the motorhome was part of his estate since he had given it to the whole family, and would be sold, and the proceeds split evenly. It turns out that after he had given it to the family he changed his mind without telling any of his children including me that he gave it to one of his son in laws instead, and had the son in laws name put on the title. So it apparently is not part of the estate. Do his children have recourse with this family gift that had been rescinded without warning, and regifted to a son inlaw instead?
