Q: My husband and I were separated when he died. His family sold all of his personal items without giving me anything?
When he died the drained the bank account paying the mother's credit
Card payment hid my car and stripped it and hid both boats I found one but not the other. He had tools from 20 yrs of service with caterpillar and a bunch of guns plus a bunch of personal items that they would not allow me to have. They have sold everything and told me they cut the boat in half. What can I do?
A:
Sorry for your situation. Short answer is that if all the stuff is either gone or destroyed you likely do not have much you can really do. It will be incredibly hard to prove who did what and in the end it will cost a lot of time and money to chase assets that are long gone.
Hope this helps.
