In this case morally maybe not but if he's been doing the work and suppose to get paid and don't then yes he should sue. I don't know much about if he should sue the estate or wife but he should get paid if he didn't. Sometimes u have to separate friendship and business

[@jennifer_mertens]

As the Plaintiff, I would just let the 600 and some odd dollars go. As the Defendant, I would probably just pay the money. It seems unreasonable to think the Plaintiff is simply making up the debt to get a small amount of money from his dead friend's estate. This is a sticky one, especially because it sounds like the husband/dad was incapacitated with dementia. No wonder the son was so upset, imagine being in his shoes. Two years later and the Plaintiff sues the widow and not the estate. This whole case was sad.

[@suey8227]

He knew he couldn't go through probate court as he has absolutely no proof of what he is saying. And what sort of long time friend sues the widow? Was he not at the funeral? What a low life!...

[@lillianwilliams5510]

I think the plantif got paid by the defendant's husband. I think he got his money when he visited the defendant's husband in the nurse home. The plantif wanted to take advantage of the defendant. A friend gave me a bill for$12 for getting my husband's shirts out of the cleaner while my husband was dying. We had been family friends and had spent lots of money on their children So people get ugly. I am sure the plantif was going to try and get lots of money from the widow. I could tell lots of stories. How I was taken advice of. Some because I was grieving. And not paying attention. Some because i was naive. Especially repairmen take advantage Now I research all repors costs etc

[@anjuelle3997]

While married, the right hand doesn't always know what the left hand is doing. I always told my husband, "I don't know those people." Simply put, we do not hang around the same people, and I'm an introvert anyway.

[@Degorff]

The son really has no idea about his father and there is no proof he was senile at the time the work was to be done. I think they have to pay the man. If mom is here she could of made decisions if her husband was so incapacitated. I think the son is greedy and is controlling his mom. I can see already the Judge is doing the guilt thing so she is not going to pay this man his money. She needs to learn not to bring her feelings into the court. She admitted she was in his situation and agreed by nodding with the son as he talked. She is goin to make a decision not based on facts, but her own situation. Hope she proves me wrong. His bills do not all pass to her, some do. Cars are generally considered marital assets and are owned by both spouses, even if the car was purchased after the marriage or if the loan is in one spouse's name. So if he had an unpaid debt and she now has the car he can put a mechanics lean on the car or her home even, beccause at the time of the service it was jointly owned (Marital Asset). A lawyer would of ate the Judge for supper, then sued for misrepresentation.

[@nunya8010]

Finally a comment I can agree with, I think the son is more worried about his inheritance being spent.

[@glenncurley680]

That was heavy!

[@chuck9380]

After making so much money from the guy after he died why not let the debt die with him. It’s only $700 dollars it’s not going to make or break the guy especially if he can’t prove the debt. I’m a mechanic and I would’ve never sued the widow or a loyal client.

[@jenn_x.]

She usually doesn't allow litigants to speak so aggressively during cases, either, and yet is allowing the defendant's son to do so. And all she did when the son admitted to throwing a tantrum and going no contact because he felt that his daddy liked the handyman more was say, "Shame on you!" instead of seeing what it really was: the son having a 'gotcha' moment because he blew his relationship with his father and now blames the plaintiff.

Choosing to be estranged from his dad over that was a poor decision.

And tried to love him for the father he had been before dementia.
