My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Arizona Death, California Marriage
Recap:
1) Mother married 3rd husband in California. They moved to AZ. My mother passed away.
2) Upon her death I paid $20k for every element of her funeral and headstone.
3) Upon her death he paid for the plot of land, and got a tandem grave as he planned to be buried with her when he died.
He puts a paragraph of text on her tombstone talking about himself: "She was the love of my life, She was an amazing wife, etc".
4) Finds out she left her retirement account to her son (me) instead of to him.
5) Gets angry. Rescinds all kindness to the family. Regrets ever marrying her.
6) Trashes her belongings. Sends none of it to us for closure / goodbyes.
7) Remarries within a year to someone new.
8) Forgets my mom ever existed. Wants nothing to do with her or our family.
Requests from the family to have the plot signed over to us have been verbally rejected.
Offers to purchase the plot from him have been rejected because the $ amount wasn't big enough for his preference.
All requests to his kids and relatives for help have been ignored.
Tombstone still retains paragraph of text about this dude who wants nothing to do with her.
He's is effectively holding my mothers body hostage.
Do we have any options?
Do I have any rights as her blood relative, son?
Can we have her body moved without his permission?
He owns the dirt, but he doesn't own the body, he is remarried, and I am actually related to her, which he is not, neither by blood nor in the eyes of the government.
Thank you.
