More details to this question:
My father was left a car in a will of his girlfriend of 8 years. Her son who is left her estate has the car and refuses to give it to my father unless he pays her medical bills. The lawyer states there is nothing he can do but yet my father being left the car is listed before her son is listed as being left the rest of the estate. I understand probate but i don't understand why my father's lawyer who is always her son's lawyer can legally defend both parties and try to force him to pay. What do I do? Please help.
