My father had a massive heart attack (cause of death) while driving and ended up crossing over the road and having a head on collision where the other driver ended up passing weeks later because of injuries. There were no known heart conditions or Drs warnings of driving etc.
My mother is now being sued and getting threatening letters about not having umbrella insurance, asking for how much she has in assets and telling her what her home is worth (insinuating they will take it). We are filing for dismissal, but she has been freaking out for months now about losing her house I was wondering if there was anything she could do (legally) to protect her house (besides just the homestead exemption).
She also is thinking of moving out of state (and was prior to lawsuit); could she sell her house, buy a new one elsewhere and gift the equity etc.?
Any advice/tips would help. We think the law is on her side, but obviously the fact that possibility sits out there has left her a wreck and not even able to fully grieve.
