Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Hi, I went through a trust administration in which I lost a real property that was legally mine. During administration, all attorney's alleged that my sister was entitled to property and I was co-trustee and had no say in the matter. After case closed, I found out that I was in fact the legal owner, sole trustee, original trustor, and my sister had no interest at all in property. All of these professional people abusing their professional privliges by manipulating father's trust to my sister's advantage. They concealed important documents I have not seen yet. Now I have new evidence that has not been in court that proves I was legally vested 4 years before these people stole it from me. Now I can show fraud, forgery, non disclosure, concealment, and that the property was mine all along and there was no reason whatsoever to start a trust administration. My father had nothing in his trust when he died. I found the will that my sister never filed and it shows my father did in fact leave property to me. Can I reopen case and get my attorney for not investigating true ownership of property? Law says attorney is responsible for all damages. Show the will to judge? And then start a quiet title action to clear up true ownership? FACT: My father set up his property as a joint tenant. He owned half and I owned half. I am suppose to sign for my father when dealing with property. I did not sign any document legally.

This is a complicated matter, and it's impractical for you to give us enough information via this forum for anyone here to provide you with an opinion regarding the merits of your case. This is necessarily so because to do so would require a review of not only the chain of title of the property in question, but also all of the documents regarding the will, the trust and its administration. You need to consult with an attorney in your community who is an experienced trusts and estates litigator.
