A Trust Fund Question
I have a serious question to ask: i have just recently learned when i was 5 my grandpa and dad set up a trust fund for me that guarenteed i would get a million dollars for college when i turned 18, but when my grandpa died, i think my dad put the trust fund money in his own pocket, because i'm now 19 and i haven't seen one penny of it or even heard about this fund since only a few months ago. My question is, do i have any grounds to call a lawyer into this matter for some type of theft or fraud?

Yes. Contact an attorney and try to get the trust. You may have to go to other relatives. If you father is judgment proof, then be careful.
