A verbal promise does not automatically establish an entitlement to an estate. The nature of the promise, evidence supporting it and applicable succession law would need to be examined.

Gather correspondence, witnesses and any documents relating to the alleged promise. Do not distribute disputed assets until the position has been properly considered.
