Q: Do I have to give money to my deceased dads girlfriend from a law suit that I am a beneficiary of?
She already got a third of everything else, bank accounts investment and house
I told him I would but changed my mind after finding she’s already dating. She 36 and he was 83. No doubt why she got with him
I sent her a text about receiving a check and that I was sending it. But after talking with my sis I realize we are not obligated since the lawsuit is now in our names I hope anyways.
A: More information is needed on this but unless you are legally obligated and/or required to give an amount to your dad's girlfriend, then you do not have to do so. If yoou are uncertain, consider talking to your lawyer in the lawsuit in which you are receiving a check, or if you are not comfortable with that lawyer, then call a few lawyers in your area and set up a consult about this issue. Good luck.
