My mother in law died 5 years ago. She was married to a man at the time for 20 years. She told me before she died that she wanted her wedding ring to go to my oldest daughter. Her husband was aware of that and that was given to her the day after she died. We haven’t spoke since and 5 years later , he is suing me for the ring back or value of. It’s past the statute of limitations for claim and delivery in SC. If I respond and put that in my answer, will it be thrown out before court?
I am mostly flabbergasted and hurt, if he had an issue with it back then, he should have told me she couldn’t have it way back then. If it survives the statute of limitations argument, how else should I defend?
