Recently my mother passed away and I owed her a little bit of cash. There was a promissory note written for the amount.
My sister is Executor of my mother's mother's will and it is clearly stated that I get $50,000 my stepdad gets all Automotive vehicles and boats and my two sisters will split the house all jewelry clothing and anything else between the two of them. My sister who is Executor of the will is trying to make me pay my debt to my mom out of the inheritance. I wanted to make clear that this debt I owe to my mother is not stated anywhere in the will and is a totally separate entity from the promissory note. Can my sister do this?
