Her terminally ill husband promised to share sale funds with his siblings. The sale produced a loss, and they sue her. Is she liable or can she recover expenses?
i think she might recoup expeneses if she proves the sale wasn’t her fault. legal rules vary, tho. it’s messy but liability seems low unless negligence is shown, so best get a lawyer
This case really blurs the lines. I’ve been wondering if her documentation of expenses could be enough evidence in her favor. How much does the local law really protect her? It’d be cool to see more details on how jurisdiction handles such promises.
i think she may have a shot if her expense docs are tight; oral promises always get messy though so she should def chat with a lawyer. local law details and good evidance are key to any potential recovery.
I’ve been mulling this over. She might argue for expense recovery if she clearly shows good faith. How do local legal nuances affect cases like this? It’s fascinating how a simple oral agreement ends up complicating matters.
Based on my experience following similar cases, the key factor seems to be the degree of documented evidence regarding her handling of expenses. The absence of a formal agreement on the promise makes the liability less clear-cut. Courts tend to look for clear records that show she acted in good faith, especially where losses occurred despite her efforts to mitigate them. It’s important for anyone in her position to consult legal advice to see if the documented expenses can be recovered, given the ambiguous nature of oral promises.
