Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Inheritance

My sister and I Are receiving 50,000 from our fathers trust. His wife of 9 years, states in a post nuptial, that she is missing a life insurance policy for 250,000. This was to be paid out of community funds during their marriage. It was not. Can she try to sue us for our portion of inheritance?

Re: Inheritance

No she can't sue you. She might be able to sue your father's estate.

She could try; whether she would be successful or not depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are (i) the terms of your father's trust, and (ii) the assets that were in the trust.
