When my Mom moved to Las Vegas she bought a new house and wrote a new will. In addition, because my sister and Mother lived together, my Mom wanted to insure that after she died my sister would have a place to live and could continue living in the house. Thus, she stipulated in her will that when she passed away, my sister would have three months to decide if she wanted to sell the house or not. If she planned to stay in the house, my sister would have to pay me one-half of my Mother’s down payment on the house.
However, a few months after she wrote her will, my sister hood-winked my Mom in to giving my sister a quit claim deed on the house, without including me, so that the two of them alone became joint owners of the house. Sadly, my Mom passed away a couple months ago and I have been left wondering if I am still entitled to the payment or if the new joint ownership has changed that stipulation in her will.
I called my Mother’s attorney, who drafted the will and is also her executor, to inquire about the matter. But he has not returned my calls !! Meanwhile, it probably doesn’t matter. My sister does not have the money to pay me anyway. And since, I always saved my money instead of spending it extravagantly as my sister did, I’ll be fine without it. But I would still just like to know anyway.
