This was my previous question
Hi. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me with a question I have.
My father passed away almost 3 years ago. Before he died, he gave his sister 15,000 dollars and told her he had been saving it for me. He told her that he knew how sick he was, and that he wanted her to hold onto it, and if anything happened to him, she was to give it to me. Well, it is almost 3 years since my father died, and she has not given it to me. She told me she doesn't have it anymore. But eventually I would get it. She also told me there is no proof of it, and I can't take her to court. My question is, Is there a statute of limitations as to when I can sue her for it. Because I have now come to the realization that she has no intentions of giving it to me? (I live in NY State.) And my second question is, can I use a taped conversation of us talking about the money for proof? I believe that is Legal in the State of NY. Is that correct? Because it is the only thing I might be able to get for proof.
I did get several responses with good answers. However, does anyone know what the Statued of Limitations would be. That is something I can't seem to get a specific answer to. Thank you. I reside in The State Of New York.
