Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
Probate, Wills and Estate
My grandmother passed away 2 months ago and there hasn't been any notification to any of the potential beneficiaries. My grandmother lived and owned 5 acres with 2 homes on prime real estate worth about one million $.
My Aunt moved in about a year ago and took control of everything. The property was originally going to be willed to my father and uncle. they both lived on the property. My father passed away 15 years ago, My Uncle also passed away a few months before our Grandmother. Our Uncle said that his part of the estate will pass on to me, and my two brothers. My Aunt had the will changed to remove our father from it and also has had accounts put in her name when our grandmother was alive ($67,000+) NO notification to us.
She also had our grandmother sign the property over to her 9 months ago and also took an equity loan - we believe to be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then had the deed put back into our grandmothers name? When my Aunt had the deed put in her name, I asked my grandmother about it and she said that the property was in nobody's name except hers and only hers. She
was the sole owner and always has been. The deed now states that our aunt is the sole inheritor of said property.
what to do??

Re: Probate, Wills and Estate
You should contact an attorney with experience in trust and estate litigation.
It sounds like a possible case of undue influence and lack of capacity, which are legal grounds upon which to challenge the changes to your grandmother's will.
