Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Michigan

Inheritance

A friends parents passed away in 2002 and she was willed many items along with her sister and brother. They were all residents of Michigan and when she flew up to get her items her sister said she had no idea what had happened to them and she never gave her the money she was willed either. It was settled but she never received any of the items. She recently found her sister selling a couple of the items that went missing on ebay. What can she do. Should she contact the law, are these items considered stolen?

Re: Inheritance

she would have to hire a Michigan attorney well versed in probate law and an estate would have to opened or reopened and a surcharge would have to be filed against the offending sister. The police won't get involved as this is a civil matter. Visit www.kliszlaw.com to discuss further. Tim Klisz
