Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
my grandmother had 3 children and owned a home jointly with two of them..when my aunt died the will was revised which left the house to my surving aunt and my dad...my dad died in 2012 and in 2013 my grandmother became very ill ....in july of 2013 her will was revised again leaving the entire house to the surviving aunt.(who initially had no interest in the home and was not one of the owners) My question is this: my grandmother was not able to make this sort of decision by herself due to her mental state and of course the surving aunt had power of attorney, .now my aunt is selling the house...is this legal? what about my dads half of the house that was in place before this last revision?

If your father was a joint tenant on the title to the house, his interest went to the surviving joint tenants when he died. Not able to answer the rest of your question without reviewing the relevant documents and knowing more facts.
