New guest at my house

My father inlaw passed away in January, and left everything to his wife of 8 years. Sunday we celebrated his life, he didn't want a funeral, instead he want us to get together with our cars and have fun. His intentions were to leave his pride and joy, a beautiful 67 Chevy II to my nephew. Unfortunately he never put it in his will, and from word on the street my mother inlaw had no intention of giving anything to us! Well, on Sunday, after being more or less shamed into doing it, she gave Ryan his car, kicking and screaming the whole time I might add!! Regardless, it is now in my nephews name as he wanted, and resides in my garage until he car find storage. I love coming home from work and seeing it next to my 69 dart like it always was at car shows. Now my driveway looks like it should,and I feel blessed that it is in good hands again!! Pic's are from his celebration too. The last pic is of Ryan when grandpa brought this car home, and I couldn't imagine it going to anyone else, he is a great kid, he is 26 years old, has 2 kids, a great job, his own home, and has been in the national guard for 8 years! He is a great example for other kids his age, and I couldn't be prouder of him!

Glad to hear it worked out for everyone!! I've got a buddy that was in a similar situation that didn't end as well on a late 60s AMC rambler that was actually his dad's. His cousin actually challenged the will and long story short, actually won the rights to the car. This was two years ago. But as karma would have it, the cousin lost his job last month and now has to sell the car to no other than my buddy. Who snatched it right up.


Moral of these stories, make damn sure your wills are updated (every couple years as that's what screwed my buddy in the first place as his dad's will was over 10 years old)
