Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Missouri

Based upon the few facts you described, the mother could have a viable claim for some or all if the value of the things not returned. The success of such a suit would depend upon the agreement between the parties as to storage, and the reasonableness if the sale. You might consult directly with civil counsel, in your area, to get advice as to the facts that you could not provide here. Many civil practice attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consultation.
