Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California
I have a situation involving a house which was given to me by my father in his trust estate. He passed October of last year. It is a irrevocable trust (straightforward in its composition) yet during my bereavement, I was cleaning out closets and found my dads original copies of the trust/will which claim this yet dads atty and my stepsister
made notations in the margins and claim that there copy of the trust is the accurate version. I dont know what to do. The two women are stating that I am nothing more than a life estate resident plus they kept all of the money that my dad saved for me to take care of the house (house is paid for). The fraudalent atty place my stepsister
as the remainderman. It states on the deed that my stepsister is the owner and that
I am listed as "No Consideration:. The title is so fouled up, I cant even get home owners insurance. They claim I am a renter. I want to know, with the "Safe Harbor"
c;ause, Can this be fought? Slowly but surely these women are easing me out of this house and taking control. My stepssister grew up in this house. $59,000 which involved pension, money market funds, etc should have gone to me but was virtually stolen by these two women. When they changed the deed, they placed a temp. change of address on my residence so that I was unaware of such changes. What can I do? The propertry tax people said time is of the essence right now.

You need to take copies of the trusts to an estate planning/probate litigation attorney in your area to discuss your situation. You will probably have to sue your sister and the attorney.
