Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Michigan
Bankruptcy/inheiritance
My sister was given an equal portion of my late moms estate, less money that was deducted for an advancement on my sisters inheritance, prior to mom's death. The advancement on inheritance was verbably know to be taken out of her portion of inheritance after her death by everyone, however not listed in the will. Now my sister is filing for bankruptcy and questioning the disbursment. Can the courts take away the divided portion of her advancement from our siblings disbursment? Can we protect our inheiritance from her bankruptcy prior to her court appearance? Should we be present at any hearings?
