Hello, thank you for using Just Answer. My name is ***** ***** I am the attorney who will be assisting you with this question. I am a fully licensed attorney with over a decade of experience representing clients. Please remember that this is an informational service only, so the answers that I provide are not given as official legal advice and this does not create an attorney/client relationship.

Do you have the payout agreement in writing?

Geoff, Expert

Ok. That's good. That is a contract that you can enforce.

Have you sent this to the daughters to request payment from them?

Customer
That's what I wanted to know. I want to send a letter to them first
Is that the best route to take?
img

Geoff, Expert

Yes. That is definitely the best route. You don't want to take legal action until they have formally refused to honor the contract.

Customer
Ok. Thanks for your help. I will do that.
