[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To answer the original question, yes, I also had an inheritance nightmare, although with a different set of circumstances.  My father was dying and had only days to live, and had made a will leaving me a lot of his estate.  My stepmother - who was in the process of divorcing my dad - showed up at the hospital and spent the last few days of his life screaming at me and berating him, until I finally renounced the entire will, refusing even to be executor, which he had named me. I walked away from a lot of money and some valuable real estate just to get away from her, and in the hopes that my dad might be able to die in peace.  The worst thing was that even after my dad was gone and she was set to inherit everything, she refused to pay for funeral expenses and refused to turn over any of his personal property, including mementos from my childhood which had no monetary value.  She kept every single little thing, and began communicating with me only through an attorney. And the worst thing was that we had had a good relationship for many years before that.  [/quote]

Have you spoken to a lawyer about this situation? Her actions seem so egregious that it’s hard to believe there isn’t a way to show that she took advantage of someone who was not completely of “sound mind” because he was dying.
