Question

After my mom past away, her boyfriend was being nice. Now he wouldn't give me my mom's thing's out of storage. It was her's before they got together.

Answer 1

Sorry about your mom, it's tough to lose a parent.

It's always good to explain your feelings to folks to warm them up to doing the right thing. I'd explain to the guy that you understand this has been hard on everybody and you are really feeling upset that you can't get your mother's things. Ask him if he thinks some of her things should stay with him, and consider that as possibly appropriate depending on the items.

If these are sentimental value to you or him then try to sit down and talk about the items and why they are meaningful to you. If they are NOT sentimental and don't have much value then just drop it - it doesn't matter.

If they are high value then you should take it over and then consider getting legal help. In most states you, not a boyfriend, have the rights to the stuff. But making this hard on everybody is a last resort - don't fight over things that are not very valuable to anybody.

Answer 2

Good luck possession is 9/10ths of the the law. My bastard x took a whole house full of my stuff and even the courts didnt want to know about it.

Answer 3

im sorrry about your mom, talk to an attorney about it, if it was your moms belongings you have a right to have them unless she made a will that he would get everything good luck.

Answer 4

hun, if your mom wanted you to have her things, she should have had a will... if he doesn't give them to you, all you can do is take him to court... that type thing happens a lot here in Kentucky

Answer 5

Unless you have proof, I don't think you can do anything.
