My father died in 2009. I am his only child.
My stepmother got the house they lived in and about a million dollars of my dad’s money when he died. At that time I consulted with an estate attorney and he said this is basically correct and that’s the law in California.
Ok. However, now this woman is very sick. She has a spinal cord tumor for which the survival rate is very low. She has one adult daughter. If she dies, does everything get passed on to her daughter? If so, that sounds extremely unfair! Shouldn't I get a part of the money that initially came from my father?
Does anyone know how this works? What law governs this scenario in California? Thank you.
