What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Al
My friend passed away and left her male friend in charge of everything. He told the family that he has the right to her bank account and her property, but that he was going to ask them first if he could have it. The family went ahead and filed friend's Will without giving the male friend bank account or property. The male friend kept all the friend's mail and swears he is entitled to everything. Does this mean he can overturn the Will and claim all my late friend's assets for himself? What will happen to the family's claim on the assets that are listed in the Will? There were other bank accounts and mutual funds probably secured through a brokerage firm. My friend was on Social Security and had a pension and also collected royalties from properties.
This sounds as if this male friend has a document that will say Joint Tenants in Common With Rights of Survivorship from my reading. I feel the male friend should have just spoken up and showed them proof that he was entitled. This seems like a potential mes to me or is it?
