My father left a will (not living will).
there is a provisions on the will,
DGK (now DgK) is to receive the French
Provincial dining room set.
which is a very expense set. That my mother bought years ago 1960's and
my father stole from her while she was out of town, my so called stepmother keeps putting me off and has now moved to North Carolina. I have found that she sold their house in Tallahassee Florida and bought a place in NC. Its just the principal about it. Either give me the dinning room set or pay me for it. She moved with out any notice to me, so I could not keep in touch, last I talked to her was 5 years ago. I live in Colorado. The dinning room set was the one thing my father left me in his will. I feel this is a simple matter, Can I put a lien on her property for non-payment of the item above or a demand letter. Its hard, and I need to enforce my fathers will which she keeps putting me off its now been 12 years.

If you have a valid copy of the will and you know that the will was not changed then you can petition the courts for a ruling. You can send your aunt a certified return receipt letter stating your intentions if she does not return the furniture to you. I would guess that she would do this on receipt of the letter. You can not put a lien on her property until the will is validated by a court. If you really want the furniture then do the above or retain legal council to address a letter to her. This may be you best course of action. I hope she still has it as well. You should have been notified if you were in the will and it was not changed. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Its not my Aunt its my stepmother. Question, in what Court and in what State. The will was done in Florida, I have lived in Colorado for over 30 years. My stepmother sold (my father and her home in Florida)and moved to North Carolina last year. Can I file here in Colorado? Or can I file in federal court since she has change to her current address in North Carolina from Florida?

This can be filed in civil court in either your State or hers. It may be more cost effective to file in her State. I would just pay an attorney the fee of sending a letter worded strongly and I would bet that she complies. If not then you would still need to send the certified letter and then file in NC. I have to send this as an answer. Your under no obligation to further accept. It is at your discretion.
