Q: My gram passed away, she left me some money. I lent that money to my mom, she spent it all, how can I get it back?
I lent my mom the money about two years ago, When I asked her for it back she said that she spent the remaining $25,000 last week, $25,000 is all I was asking her give back to me. The original total my gram left me was $37,000. She is now refusing to pay me back. How can I get back the money my gram left me? Thank you
A:
You may have to sue your mother in civil court -- although if she has no money in which to satisfy any civil judgment against her, all you'll be left with is the judgment paper itself at the end of the day. Perhaps she'd be willing to enter into some kind of repayment plan?
Best of luck to you.
