After my grandfather died my aunt became executor of his estate, she was not his biological child. My mother was his only biological child. I borrowed around $5000 from his estate through my aunt about three years ago. I have been very slowly paying it back due to many reasons. Now they are threatening me. I did not sign any written contract, but have made payments and acknowledged in a letter that I do owe, but can they take me to Small Claims court? I live in Washington state and the statue of limitations is 3 years for verbal agreements, is this considered verbal?
State/Country relating to Question: Washington
If there is nothing in writing such as a note signed, it is a verbal agreement and the statute of limitations would apply. Consider negotiating a payment plan you can afford and avoid the prospect of lawsuit and potential judgment.
