My mother married her second husband 20 years ago. In 1993, they drew up a will, dividing their property equally amongst all of their 6 children, upon their deaths. I am my mother's only child; my stepfather has 5 children.
My mother died of cancer in early January. About 6 weeks before she died, her father's estate was settled and she received a large sum of money. At this time, she was very ill and unable to change her will to ensure I received this money. She verbally told me, as well as other family members, that she wanted me to have the money.
My stepfather refuses to discuss it and is showing no signs of passing this money to me. My grandfather's will stated that I was to receive this money if my mother predeceased me.
Do I have any hope in obtaining this money? I'm in Connecticut. Thanks.
