Evil Stepmother Living in Spain....
What a great site! I have found it very interesting and learnt a lot. Thank you. I dont know if there are any ideas out there to my own irritating dilemma?
Some years ago my father died in Spain. He owned a villa near Malaga with my stepmother which was jointly owned. She claimed that he had left a will and she had everything. She then wouldnt release the will and knowing my father, I suspect there wasnt one.
I see on this website that in order to sell the property she would have had to put the whole property in her name and would have needed proof he had left her the property but if there was no will how did she do this?
I also saw that if my father left no will then under Spanish law, I could or should have been entitled to 1/3 of the villa, have I understood this correctly.
There is a lot more to this story with my stepmother forging my fathers signiture some 3 months after he died in order to get money from his old company.
Can anyone give me some idea if I am barking up the wrong tree please. Should I just let it go?
Many thanks in advance.
