Life Is Anyone Here a Lawyer or Member of Law Enforcement? - Page 6

GabyKeepsMeWarm · 11:52 AM

I've got a situation.

My dad died in May of last year, and I'm the executor of his estate. It's been a nightmare. He died without a will and sorting through everything has been an awful mess.

My father lived in Iowa, and he had a "companion" that he met online. I've been very skeptical of this woman from the outset, but how do you tell your 78 year old father he's being taken for a ride? His "companion" lives in New Mexico, and my father would go down to New Mexico during the Winter months. Dad bought a motor home and left it in New Mexico, giving her full access. However, the motor home was only titled and registered in his name.

Well, after dad died, I discovered this woman had the motor home retitled and registered in her name.

I've spoken to several lawyers, including the DA of the county in which the motor home was stolen, as well as the state police and local law enforcement, and I haven't gotten anywhere.

Law enforcement is calling it a civil matter, even saying that this woman claims my father gave her the vehicle prior to his death. It's incredibly frustrating. If her claims are true, which they are not, why did she wait until after he died to retitle and reregister the vehicle?

Every attorney I've spoken to is calling this a law enforcement matter.

It's like nobody wants to do their ****ing job, and I'm at my wits end about this.

Any advice?

My $0.02 is OP should drop this. Likely just throwing good money after bad.

I would not try to get a handwriting expert on your own. Have they ever gone through a Daubert challenge? Have they testified in court at all? Or in a deposition? You could end up with a $5k handwriting expert that isn't worth a damn. I'd let your lawyer deal with that.

That was my point.

It’s a pseudoscience.

Electronic signatures - using your finger on a touch pad - have made personal signatures pretty much worthless. Might as well just mark an X

Assuming you have his real signatures to compare with the title one - there is so much variation, it comes down to "she said - he said"

I was agreeing with your first point. I'm sure there are fine handwriting experts and that it's an accepted practice generally, but I can also see some crackpots holding themselves out as experts, charging a ton, and being completely unusable when it counts.

Honestly, unless the RV is worth significant money, just let it go. Not to be nice, but for your own sanity.

Wait. She's been living in it for a couple of years before he died?

Law enforcement won't get involved until you prove it is yours & get a court order demanding she turn it over. Even then may require you to hire Repoman to take it back.

See all the squatters headaches right now across the country as evidence.

She doesn't live in it. She has her own home.

Go pour sand in the gas tank and call it a day.
