Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: My younger brother had informed me he'd taken care of me in his will prior to his death from Cancer. He told me that his wife wouldn't get any of his funds that he had prior to their marriage..After his death his wife informs me that she couldn't believe my bro Allan left all to her. My entire family knew Carol was out to get Allan for his dollars as her Mother informed her to go after Allan as he's financially secure. Carol told me she wasm
JA: What state are you in? It matters because laws vary by location.
Customer: wasn't happy with the will & she'd try to give me my share. It's like yanking my chain & no sign of anything yet. It'll be 2 years since the loss of my brother. We were raised on a farm our Father started. I feel I'm more a part of the farm than Carol. I'm asking is it worth it to fight this as she tells me it'll cost too much for taxed when taking money out of the investment.
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: taxes. I had the understanding when given an inheritance there were no taxes. As of now I don't have the money, if I'm not able to squeeze it out of Carol now I haven't lost a thing. She knows how poor I am & only barely survive on a seniors pension. Thanks in advance. Marlina Philip
JA: The Lawyer will be able to walk you through that. Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?
Customer: ***** *****ves in Manitoba as My brother did, do dealing with a different province. Not sure how this works.

Customer

I'm feeling confused . My cousin in Man.went to courthouse to read my bros will. He wasn't sure re spelling. Damn.

Are you saying your cousin did get a copy of the Will?

Customer
I'll phone my own lawyer as this doesn't make sense. Waste of my time.plus I don't have dollars to pay for what? I didn't get any help at all. Wishing you better luck with next person.
