Financial help for widows?

I lost my husband almost 2yrs ago, he was V.P. of the family business. When he passed away his family said that I would not have any part of the business, which was next to our house, They said that his shares went back to them, I keep getting different answers from them. His brother took over the business less than a year he moved the company away from my house. My husband got a home equity loan to build the new office and they were paying the rent. Now that they have moved I am stuck with a high mortage payment. I did have a lawyer but he wasn't very good, and he wanted money for everything he did for me. Does anybody have any advise for me, or what I can do ??? I'm left with a mortage that I really shouldn't have to pay. And I would like to keep my house right before my husband passed away we were getting ready to adopt. So I would like to keep my house so I would still be able to adopt soon. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

go talk to another lawyer.most of them will talk to you for free. I don't know what state you live in but the most of them I think that the husband share of the business and etc, would go to you rather than his family. Did youre husband have a will? If he did be sure and read it carefully. I think what his family is trying to cheat you out of his share. If you cant afford a lawyer then go to legal aid and what ever you do dont let them win.

thank-you for choosing my answer. I hope that you can get everything settled. Happy New Year. Report It
