My first post so sorry if its in the wrong spot..
My father in law passed away over a year ago in Texas my wife and I currently live in Florida.. We are having a problem with a piece of the estate.. A vehicle her father owned.. We bought this vehicle with the understanding the amount would be taken out when the estate was settled up.. It is coming up time now and we just found out he plans on taking the whole amount of the vehicle out of her portion.. The will breaks down like this..
65% to my wife (She was his only child)
15% to another member of the family that has passed away..
15% to her father's brother (the executor)
The rest breaks down to her fathers brother's kids..
From what I understand the other family member who has passed away her portion splits equally to the rest.. The problem is he wants to take the whole portion of the truck out of my wifes portion.. Since 65%+ of the truck was already hers I dont understand how he could do this.. The truck is worth 12,000$.. Since my wife and I can not afford a lawyer, im afraid he is going to screw with what is suppose to be hers.. Thanks in advance for any help given..
