Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
living will or trust ?
My grandmother passed last month, I
was told by her that myself and 2
others were in her will, since my
letter from her stating that my aunt
took control over everything and I
was told she had a Living trust and
no will, my aunt will not reply to any
of my e-mails or calls, is there a way
to find out if I do have any property
or monies coming to me? who can I
contact to get me headed in the right
direction? my aunt is a very sour
woman and will not go out of her
way to communicate with me for any
reason and I do believe I was or am
still in her will, I also have a letter
from my grandmother 8 years ago
telling me I was in-fact in her will,
now where do I go from here?
any and all help is appreciated
thanks so much for your time

Re: living will or trust ?
you will need to contact an attorney in WY near where she passed away and file a petition to probate her estate. This will force her to either come up with a will or trust.
Re: living will or trust ?
Send a letter to your aunt certified mail return receipt requested asking for a copy of your grandmother's trust and will within, for example, 10 days. If she does not respond, and assuming your grandmother was a resident of California at her death, you should retain a qualified attorney in the county in which she resided and file a petition for probate.
