Guy I know is getting completely fucked - death/will related
So I don't know the whole story but here is what I know
I worked with this guy Rob for 10 years. He has been living with an older woman for the last 17 years. She doesn't work and he has been paying all the bills including the mortgage.
A few years ago her sister died and they took on her Callaway Corvette payments (20k) he has been paying the last of the payments for the last few years.
They dealt with the death of her dad, have been charged with moving and organising buildings of antiques, belongings and shop equipment. This has taken several years.
Rob never had a good relationship with his common law wife. In fact they have not slept together for the last 7 years. Despite that fact he has stuck with her and helped her live and deal with all these things.
She died of cancer 2 days ago. In her last few days she did a simple will signing everything over to her 70yr old mother. Her mom has already moved into their house to claim everything of value. First was the Vette.
Does rob have anything worth fighting for at this point?
I feel really bad for him. He is not all that bright and is easily manipulated but is a good guy.
I recommended he talk to my cousin who is a lawyer or my book keeper who also deals with estate planning but he declined.
Any advice I will pass on to him
Machining, Fabricating, Welding etc.
