Husband died, we didn't make a will, big problem for me! Please. Can anyone help me?
What is the name of your state? The state that is involved in this settlement is California. My husband passed away leaving no will of any kind . We have no children together and he had no children of his own. He invested some money in this company who's assets were siezed but are now being released . He invested in his name only . Now they will not release the money to me even though the class action suit that was filed against this company is being settled . I've sent them a copy of our marriage certificate and a copy of his death certificate and also had an attorney draft a letter but all came back and I am still being denied my claim. I am residing in Washington but the settlement is in California . I don't have the money for an attorney which is 2500.00 to start, and I don;t know what to do. Everything we had is in his name only. I was his wife up till the day he passed away , but because he didn't leave a will they won't let me collect on this class action law suit or transfer his credit cards to my name ( although I am the one who's paid them over the past year) . The creditors told me to stop paying them.I can't even sell our house. I now know how ignorant we were about planning ahead , but I guess we just assumed that 15 years of marriage and community property meant that everything we owned or invested in was both of ours , no matter who signed the paperwork.
Please help !! Many thanx if u were nice enough to read all of this . If u have any suggestions or resources please help. It would be so appreciated. Thank u for your time.
