Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
My Sisters and brothers have not given me my share of our inheritance. My sister actually owed my Dad almost 80,000 dollars before he died and my Dad was always saying to me how she never made any of her payments but maybe 3 in the past 10 years!!! My Moms estate was worth well over a million dollars. I cant get my sisters to call me back and they live 2 hours away so even the few times gone to their houses they wont answere the door. What can I do?

You should probably contact a lawyer. The process for forcing a proper distribution of an inheritance requires a court proceeding. The type of proceeding depends on whether your parents had a trust, a will, or nothing at all. The proceeding is fairly technical, and not something most people are equipped to handle if there is a dispute.
You can look on LawGuru for attorneys who handle disputed probate matters. Many of us here handle this type of matter. Alternatively, you can contact your local bar association for a referral panel.
