Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Did my ex-husband inherit from my family?
My mother's cousin who lived out of town as passed. I had known him since I was a small child.
Twice before he was scheduled to have surgery he phoned me to let me know where he would be should I try to reach him and some friends of his locally had my phone number to reach me should anything happen. This relative was never married and was financially well off. My ex-husband was aware of this and started stopping by to see him while he was out of town. I know that my ex has told many lies about me, my habits and character. This dear man passed and I was never called. My ex-husband was. It breaks my heart because I was genuniely fond of this man that he may have gone to his grave believing the slanderous lies my ex constantly spreads about me.
Now my ex and his girlfriend are building a new house.
How can I find out if he was mentioned in the will and if so is there anything I can do about it?
How do I go about discovering who holds or held the will and it's contents? If it can't be undone I'd at least like to confirm my suspicions.
Thank you for your time,
Respectfully,--name removed-
