Description

In this episode, we delve into a family's dilemma over a fifty-thousand-dollar inheritance from a class action lawsuit, twenty-five years after their father's passing. The executor, the father's brother, has kept the money, despite the mother being the sole heir. The question: should the money have gone to the mother in New York state? The answer lies in the strict statute of limitations for challenging estate handling, leaving the mother with limited options. Experts advise on the best course of action and the importance of understanding legal rights and family conversations for fair inheritance planning.
