Re: life time dowery
...more information is needed, especially deeds and other documents, to answer your question
Re: life time dowery
Was there a will? If there was a will, what the will says will determine who should have the house and how it is to be paid off.
If there is no will, we would need to determine who all of his heirs are to determine how to proceed.
How does the caregiver say that she got this right to live there? Was there a trust or some type of contract? Was it in the will?
If you could provide me some answers to the questions I have asked, I would be glad to try to help you definitely answer the question you asked.
