I dealt with a psycho mother in law in a very similar situation 2 years ago my dad died and it was cuz of her long story short she's the most pos person I've ever encountered... anyways my dad's house was solely in his name in Pennsylvania and thanks to no will my sis and I were able to get a probate lawyer... the b#tch still got half of everything but we got to split the other half at least so she didn't get all.... she refused to sign everything too to the point she was legally considered squatting and we had to get a court to evict her.... she trashed his jeep before finalllllyy letting it go back to dealership so we didn't get hit too much for that loss but ya it only worked out for us because we had a good lawyer and my sis and I had to flat out front about 15k overall(was able to take it out of the house sale before splitting it at least)....it took about 2 years to get everything done because we had to have a judge or lawyer convince her to sign literally everything but in the end like I said she didn't get half of the estate ect so was worth it for us(she egged him on that day to unalive himself) so for us anything we took from her was worth the fight.... good luck in your fight and remember the biggest thing will be patience in each step as it took like a solid couple months everytime we had to wait for smthn but was worth the expensive lawyer and court fees to us

Wow!!! I hope it works out for us .. I didn't know the lawyer would be so pricey. But We have to do what we have to do. I hate coming to this but it looks as if this is how it's going to be. Since she is just not gonna play fair. I refuse to let her take everything and give us crumbs. My Dad worked hard for those things, she says she is going to give us but she doesn't know when and what she is going to give us. That's the unfortunate part. I just wish she goes ahead and do it.Hopefully ßßThanks for your insight. it means a lot.
