Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri
My 13 year old sons dad died a little over a month ago. He had no will, and was living with a girlfriend. He had stated to many people, many different times, that when he died our son was to get his things. A lot of the things in the house he shared with his girlfriend were things that we acquired together over our ten years. As of this time, she has not given our son any of his dads things, and we dont know if she is giving them to her family or what she is doing with them. What are my options of getting parts of his dads estate for my son?
