Legal Question in Family Law in California
my sister deceived my father into signing some documents which allowed her access to a bank account in Taiwan. she then brought him to
Taiwan for the transfer of funds.( approx 333k) My father told me of his signing of documents in English. He does not understand English. I asked him if he wanted total control of his money. When he consented, witnessed by two people, I wrote a document which instructed the bank to secure access to his account....what can be done to protect the interest of my father? Do I have rights of inheritance if all of my father's assets are transfered to my sister under false pretense.

It sounds like what you have is a case of elder financial abuse. This should be reported to the local police. If your father or you want your sister to give back the money, he will need to file an elder abuse lawsuit against her. If he is not capable of doing so, you will need to be appointed his conservator and then file for him. This is a very serious problem for older people these days, and the only way to deal with it is through the police and the courts. Otherwise it goes on and on.
