Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
real estate and probate
my fiance was left as heir to his fathers home and his siblings were not included. the siblings went into court and became executors. they convinced him he could not keep the home due to lack of credit or employment and the mortgage co. would take over. so they sold home and made him move and convinced him to split money with them. brother offered him to become 2nd owner of his home so they would be splitting the property. 348 riverside dr cloverdale ca. the will clearly stated that the estate that they sold could not be sold for 10 yrs and they sold it anyway. i need to know if that is all legal and what type of proof can we get on being split property owner because there is nothing in writing to show my fiance as joint property owner now. and his brother is claiming that we need to pay 600 per month now on the riverside property that the mortgage is 1200 per month . and also can we sell our share and how. please help i think we are victims of a scam from the sister and brothers anger of not being part of the fathers will and fathers request being violated

Re: real estate and probate
There may be several courses of action that can be taken however, before any are discussed a review of the circumstances and all documents, including but not limited to the Will and court documents, would be necessary.
It is unclear if your fiance was represented by counsel.
