Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Do heirs have a right to claim desceased parent trust shares?

Both of my parents are listed beneficiaries in my Grandmothers

Trust. However my Father and two of his sibblings also beneficiaries are now deceased. My Mother has recieved zero of

Grandmothers Trust. The only communication between my Mother and

the Executor my Aunt is when the property taxes are due. The

considration to sell seems to fail. My Aunt is upgradeing the

properties and ask my mother for a copy of my fathers death certificate. However she never showed up to pickup the document

which I found strange. My Mother has no understanding of the

complexities of Trust & Real Estate Law. And has no desire to

learn unfortunatley. My Father wqs my Grandmother favorite son

who had always been loyale and dependable before and after her

death. The last we have heard is that the wives of the desceased

beneficiaries get nothing if they should sell and that they have

decided to keep the property in the family(That is their immediate family). My Mother is takeing no action on this issue

I am an legal heir what rights if any do I have to claim my Fathers Trust Share?

Your father's shares would go to your mother if he did not have a will unless the trust has another scheme for succession.
