[quote=Anonymous]You mother didn’t give the money to your sister during mother’s lifetime. It sounds like when mother passed, all of her assets were jointly owned by father and they all became solely his, and now he has passed and there is no directive in his will for “medical school daughter” to receive a larger share of estate than the other daughters.

Either mother made an empty promise or “medical school sister” is lying or there was a misunderstanding between the two.

The estate will go through probate and the executor must distribute the estate according to the law. “Medical school sister” can file a claim through the probate court and make her case, though it’s a weak one.

Any contract articulated with words, whether spoken or written, is verbal. Your sister is claiming your mother made an oral contract. Oral contracts can be legally binding, but only if there is some proof. If your sister has no proof to present to a court other than the testimony of only one of the two parties to the agreement (her own), then she’s unlikely to prevail.

What you do with your share of the estate is up to you.[/quote]
