Re: Entitled to money

In the absence of a contrary written agreement you friend is not entitled to a share of the proceeds. More facts are needed to be evaluated to determine if there is a claim. If promises were made then those facts should be reviewed by an attorney to determine if there is a claim. If one of the parties will support the contention that your friend has an interest, please seek the advice of legal counsel. It is possible that a claim can be established, but it is unlikely given the limited facts presented.
