Seriously. Respectfully, even the deceased’s logic is messed up. “She would spend them on clothes and trips.” Okay? Watches are clothes, so no difference there. And she surely deserves a trip now so fuck it. Give them back.
Its his stuff not his wife’s, also for many people there is a sentimental attachment to watches and having them sold off after you die would seem horrible to them
It was his stuff, but since he died without a will that stuff belongs to his estate. If he felt sentimental enough about them and wanted to keep them from her he could have written a will that did exactly that.
Yeah if you look at it from the standpoint of the law but consider your friend especially if you’re not gonna face any consequences for breaking the law. He couldn’t have written him into the will otherwise the wife would’ve seen it on the will and got upset
If any of my friends asked me to help hide 200k from their spouse, I wouldn't have done it. I don't have much sympathy for OP or his friend in this case (I mean about the watch thing specifically, I obviously have sympathy about the person passing away and OP grieving that loss). If his wife finds out, she should absolutely be upset about this. It's a shitty, inexcusable thing for her husband to have done.
