Q: I was married to my husband for 13 years, until his death. He was sick with oxygen 24/7 and many other medical treatment
for at least 12 years of our marriage. His children saw him very few times in all those years and never participated in his care. They took him from a re-hab he was in Nov. 25, 2018, and I never heard from them or him again. I had help trying to find him. AND on Feb. 8th the sheriff told me he passed away on Jan 29. He had specific instructions for his service and burial - they ignored his wishes and buried him with their mother. I want to see his (NEW) Will. I have been been totally removed from it, because of their greed. There are many things they have already done to acquire $$$. Like closing an Ameritrade account that I was co-owner on. They took all and left me a penny. They are very evil people, and I do want what the law says I should have. I say that because I am sure they have taken and hidden his assets. I do have his "true" will and list of personal items and who they are meant for. There is much more I can tell you, and hopefully can. He died in MO. Thank you
A: You have raised many issues that need investigation. I strongly recommend that you consult with a probate attorney. Once your attorney knows all of the facts, he can advise you as to what must be done to enforce your legal rights as a surviving spouse.
