Q: if my sister is the administor of my mother death claim can she not give me my money. She lives in Indiana, my mom died
Or is it up to a judge. My mother stayed with my sister who lives in Indiana, where the car accidentally took place, the rest of her kids live in ILLINOIS. Can she not give us our half. We are not on speaking terms and she's money hungry. Thank u
A: You need to contact a member of the Indiana Trial Lawyers Assn in the county where your mom died. She has to file an accounting with the Court, provide you notices,but I'm getting the view that she may not. At the same time you may have issues over "crashywortiness" --if the wreck was survivable.
A: This would be determined under Indiana Law. As special administratrix, your sister has no say in who gets what. The Superior Court where the action is filed would determine distribution.
