Legal Question in Business Law in California

I think I'm about to be sued for breaching a family agreement to sign over my deceased mother's house at a below market price to my sister. I recently found out that she lied to doctors that she had medical power of attorney, and other false information to get my mother killed in the early stages of an ER visit. She hated her mother.

I have a signed note by a doctor saying that she said she had such a power of attorney when she didn't. I would never have signed the family agreement if I had know that she committed fraud, and other felonies to terminate my mother's life. My mother wasn't dying from anything and was coherent at that time. I don't want to give her a gift for doing what she did. She already inherited a lot of money from my mother, that she didn't deserve for doing something criminal.

First, you have not indicated that a legal contract actually exists, although it may. Next, you are making incredibly serious accusations essentially claiming your sister assisted in the murder of your mother, but you are most concerned about being sued?

I would first be discussing everything over with the police, but if it turns out that this remains just a civil matter, consult a civil litigator in private and discuss all the relevant facts so a best course off action can be reached.

Kind regards,
