Hi, I apologize if this may be common, however I couldn't find anything online about it. I would like a bit of info, mainly. Asking this from Sacramento, California, USA.
So my mother died last year, heart-failure from diabetes, 09.15.08. She also had no will. She hadn't gotten married to her fiance yet, and I'm her only child. I was 18 at the time, born 02.16.89, and as far as I was told, all of her things would be mine, being the closest living relative.
I'd like to know if this is true. As far as I was told, even by my own grandmother, that all of my mom's things would become mine when she finally died. This was due to her not marrying her fiance yet, and as such being her only child made me the closest living relative, which to the explinations I recieved, I got everything of hers... Even the things that were bought for her.
I seek to know because my grandmother, my mother's fiance, and myself have been dividing up some of my mother's things. I, however, have had no final say in any of it, and apparently they've been doing it without my knowledge, and splitting it up between what my grandmother gave her (for my grandmother), what her fiance gave her (for himself), and what she bought (for me). Just tonight, I've found out that they went behind my back again, but much worse. My grandmother couldn't pay her half of the rent to my mother's fiance, who was taking care of the rent this month, so she payed him with 2 very real, rather expensive rings. These rings, from what they had told me, as well as my mother telling me herself before she went to the hospital for the last time, were intended for me to have, wether to sell for emergencies or give them away to my future wife.
So, how badly have I been getting jipped?
