He died suddenly 6 weeks after I gave him a loan of $8,000 U.S. dollars. He bought a truck, tools, and ? with it. He signed an informal handwritten contract for me, no cosigner, not notoraized. He was expecting a check from compensation any day to repay me. Now his family says I'm getting nothing since the check won't come and since he had no money banked. Can I get the comp money or am I able to retreive the vehicle and tools that I "bought"? How do I pursue this?
Note: I am suffering a great loss of a dear friend.....and I am just able to function enough to start to think about recovering my monetary losses. Any knowledgeable advice is greatlly appreciated! (New York State, USA)
