Am I able to receive compensation for properties that were appointed to me following my divorce even though at that time I acquired a brain injury which prohibited me from collecting those assets?.
I am writing to inquire about previously owned homes. I had a brain injury 20 years ago. I owned several properties and antique cars. However, I never received the compensation for the properties or cars stated in the divorce decree that were appointed. I am aware that acquiring a brain injury prior to the distribution of assets prohibited me from receiving what was appointed to me in the divorce
agreement. Would I now be able to claim what was owed to me?

Was the award pursuant to a settlement agreement? Was no one appointed on your behalf to collect and manage these assets?? Generally there are time constraints but they can be extended due to a "disability" and a brain injury seems to me to qualify. Seek legal help. Good luck.
