Q: Uncle collects rents,sends half to mom.Mom died so i inherit her 50% through probate.He send me rent awhile now nothing.
Ive called him and wrote to him asking him to atleast send the info for income taxes. My uncle used to send me half rents after expenses every month and also he would send year end info so i can file my income taxes. Same as he would do when mom was alive. He only did this few years and he stopped. Its been over 3years now that i get zero from that property. Once he told me on the phone not to worry cuz he's depositing my share into the bank account for that building. What are my options here?
A: Was your mom's estate probated? You may need to probate the matter to pursue your legal rights if your uncle is not paying you your due.
