What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? California
I have a dear friend who is totally devistated over the death of her boyfriend of 14 1/2 years. They lived together for the last 14 years.
For 8 of the last 10 years, "Jim" has managed a trailor park and "Sue" helped him, cleaning and maintenence, when she could.
For the last 2 years, "Jim" was the owner, and owned the trailor in which the office was located. Before that, the office was also located at that same trailor.
February 1st, he had a massive heart attack and died. "Sue" was totally dependent on him, as he was very controlling, and handled everything, down to her clothes that she bought for herself, down to the medications she was taking. (What and when)
She didn't even know how to clothes shop for herself!
Anyway, I digress, he didn't have a will.
After all the legal mumbo jumbo was unravelled, the trailor park, and his "estate" went to his daughter "Mary". "Sue" was left with around $2,000, and it was mentioned to her, by the daughter, that she had a little more coming, but "Mary" won't tell her any more about it.
Anyway, "Mary" took over her dad's trailor (which is legal, I know), and let "Sue" rent another one.
When "Mary" was moving "Sue" out, she was "kind" enough to allow "Sue" to take barely enough to get by on. When "Sue" tried to speak up and tell her that she had bought this or that, or that "Jim" had bought this or that for her, "Mary" would either agree, or if she wanted it, would say, "No, you can't have this or that". (brand new towels, pots and pans, dishes, a tv, vaccuum etc...) And of course, since "Jim", being the controlling person that he was, kept all the receipts, she has none. And they all mysteriously came up missing!
She is even charging her the whole electricity bill for the last month "Sue" was still in "Jim's" trailor, even tho the office was still being run from that very same trailor!!! And rent, too.
"Mary" hasn't even been in this state, and had, in the last several months, been in England with her husband and children.
She does, however, have a witness that was there when "Mary" stated that all she wanted was what her dad had owned before "Sue" and "Jim" got together.
Granted, "Sue" is getting a discounted rent, however, this is getting rediculous. "Sue" has to use paper plates, and was given, 2 forks, 2 spoons, well you get the idea.
Is there anything that can be done?????
