Jim J from the Excelsior asks: “My neighbor died. She was such a nice lady I miss her and I also miss how she used to care for her yard. Her son inherited the place,he was never any good to her and was always trouble growing up. He hasn’t gotten any better with age. Since he moved in he has been “collecting things” mostly old cars but also tires, rims and other auto parts. He uses the garage to fix up old cars that he then sells. Most of the junk just stays there and rusts. It’s a scrap yard. Weeds are growing and I have seen rats running in and out. It’s disgusting. What can I do about it?”
Is An Oral Promise Of A Gift An Enforceable Contract?
This week’s question comes from Shelia D in South City who asks: “I am really upset about what my uncle recently did. He had, since I was young, promised me that he would give me his Camaro when he got a new car. He got a new car and, instead of giving his old car to me, he gave it to his son who he just made up with after years of hating each other. I feel that the car should be mine. Can I do anything to get the car?”
