Legal Question in Family Law in California
Beneficiary of An Estate
After my mother passed away, my sister took most of her belongings. My mother had no Living Will or Trust. My father wants those back They include her Jewlery, and letters from when he was in the Military and the begining of their relationship. How does he go about getting these back. My sister will not hand them over. We do not have much money to hire an Attorney. Is there a way we can pay an Attorney to write a letter that will not cost too much?

Re: Beneficiary of An Estate
if your sister had no legal interest or rights within the personal property that she removed without consent or privilege, this would be a tortious cause of action called "conversion". your father has rights to either get the property back or have your sister pay the market value of the property that she illegally took without the consent of your father, the legal heir of your deceased mother if she did not have a will or trust in place at the time of her passing. our law firm would be more than happy to assist you in writing a legal demand letter to help your father get back what is rightfully his and as soon as humanly possible. we may also be able to represent your father in this matter for a small, one-time, very affordable legal fee if he might require representation in this matter beyond the legal demand letter we would send out in his behalf. so, if you would like further legal assistance and/or representation, feel free to email my office today with more details and hopefully we can bring you and your father swift justice in this matter. we deeply empathize with your situation.
