Companion died-house and property in my name--Do his children have the right to any items in his shop-FL.?

Question

wood shop-hobby. already took $50,000 of personal items

Answer 1

Depends what your companion's will stipulates. If no will and you're not married, then in general they are entitled to all of the deceased personal property. Laws vary by state.

Answer 2

You had no right to take so much... 50K?! If he's your 'companion', then you aren't married and the children are his, you have no rights to ANYTHING that was in his store. And you weren't supposed to take anything until his will is read by a lawyer. Real stupid of you. Now you'll be facing a huge suit. Wow, now we all know what kind of person you are. You really DON'T care anything about the children at all.

Answer 3

They may not have a right but that may not stop them from suing you. They may want some of your companions personal things. Simple things can mean a lot to someone. To my sister it was these tiny figures of dogs that her and her dad played with.

You might ask them if there is anything of your companion that they'd like, that might just be enough.

Answer 4

That's just tricky. Really there isn't enough info given. Do you mean shop as in store or shop as in where he tinkered around?

In a business sense the kids could certainly have claim to items depending on your business contract regardless of reality ownership.

If it's just his tinkerin stuff why not let them have it?

Answer 5

Of course they do.

His personal property goes to his heirs. It doesn't matter that it was kept in your property. It still belongs to them.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Answer 6

If house and property is in your name, nobody has access to house or property without your permission.

Answer 7

would be mean not to give them something,they are HIS kid's

Answer 8

Nope. You can screw them.
