Dunnworryjuzdoit answered Saturday June 9 2007, 4:44 pm: Well, if the money was left in your name but given to your uncle to be the executor of it, sometimes when these wills are made there haven conditions set on them, like for ex) you can only use the money for school purposes until you turn 30 and then the money will be entirely yours to spend as you want, now that is just an example. In the meantime your uncle is appointed to make sure that you spend it according to those conditions and if he breaks that then he could actually get in a lot of trouble for not doing what he was asked to do. In fact, they usually have to prove that they are giving you the money for those purposes with receipts. This is so you don't go wrecking your life by spending too much to soon or wasting the money on things that aren't really important. Especially, if you're still younger (you know parents) they want you to learn the value of money, earning it, and spending it. So, if that is the case and there are conditions set on the will, then there's nothing you can do about it because that is how your father wanted his money to be spent. However, if your uncle is spending your money on himself, or, it was left to you entirely, then you need to find proof of that and contact the lawyers or whoever that set that will forward and notify them that it is not being used for the purposes your father meant it to be or for who it should be for. Hope that helps:) [ Dunnworryjuzdoit's advice column | Ask Dunnworryjuzdoit A Question ]
