My husband died and 6 months later i bought a cattle chute at a auction it has my name on the receipt and i have the check copy from my bank. And the personal representative of my husbands estate has it listed for sale cos he went off of a persons list
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you purchased the cattle chute after your husband passed away and it's in your name, it generally shouldn't be considered part of the estate. You may want to present your receipt and bank records to the personal representative to clarify the ownership. If they don't agree, you might consider consulting with a local attorney to protect your rights. Do you have any further questions or need additional help with this matter?
If your lawyer says most the estate will be your because you have paperwork provided showing marital years and ur sole item then it all gets petition to sell. Is that missrepution
It sounds like there might be some confusion or miscommunication with your lawyer regarding the estate and the items involved. Here are some points to consider:
- If the cattle chute was purchased after your husband's passing and is in your name, it should not be part of the estate.
- You may need to provide clear evidence of ownership (receipt, bank records) to the personal representative.
- If you believe your lawyer is not adequately representing your interests, it might be wise to seek a second opinion or consult with another attorney.
