Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Minnesota
Who is entitled to the estate
My mother-in-law was with a man for 38 years, he did not have any children and has one sister. They shared a life and raised her 4 children. They never married. His sister came on his death bed and had him sign everything over to her. They seem each other a few times a year. Does my mother-in-law, and the 4 children have any rights to any of his estate?

Re: Who is entitled to the estate
Given the limited facts, if no will the laws of intestacy
would pass the estate to the state. You would also have to look
at the situation from a contract analysis, undue influence etc to
view the sisters conduct.
