Re: uncle by marrage passed,i have will, other neice involved
You can do a number of things to prevent this from
happening. You can get a restraining order from
the local circuit court. You can physically take
possession of the assets and lock them up. You
can file suit for damages and to recover those
assets which were taken. You should report the
matter to the local criminal authorities but do
not be surprised if they are not able to handle
the situation. I wish you good luck with this
frustrating matter.
