Will and Executor role???

‎08-19-2012 10:10 PM

My best friends MIL died 7 years ago. Her home had been given to her sister and her husband several years before her death.

All other money assets were to be divided equally between my friend and her sister. her sister and BIL are executors of the Will.

They have decided that she can only get her 1/2 of the money if she has a catastropic illness or at the age of retirement. And not all the money just what they want to give her.

My question is can they legally do this. If the Will just says the assets are to be divided equally. Can they make up their own rules about when and how much my friend would get.

She could use some of the money now her husband has been on unemployment for 8 months, she is only 53 so retirement is many years away. Her 1/2 of the money is about 150,000.

I told her to go and speak with an attorney. Just wondering what you all thought I know nothing about Wills etc. Thanks
