I was almost finished restoring a friends race boat when he suddenly died in his airplane. His wife wont pay the debt owed but i still have the boat and motor which is worth much more than what is owed to me. About $22,000 is owed against the job and i sent her an email stating that i would start liquidating the boat and motor to settle the debt if she hasnt paid for it in the next 30 days. I havent heard anything from her but she did send someone to inspect the boat and take pictures to verify the job was done. I need to know what i can and cant do legally to satisfy this debt
