Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

Re: trust/will

if you believe your father is not competent or that your sister is using undue influence to cause him to take actions which are against his interest, you should retain a qualified attorney to provide advice and prepare any necessary petitions to the probate department of the superior court.

Re: trust/will

Was your father the creator/settlor of the trust? If so, why is he an alternate trustee instead of the first? This may have been a drafting error or he may have been trying to release control of assets so they wold not be part of his estate, an unnecessary action if he created a trust.

What you will want to look at is elder abuse. If the person is living with a senior citizen and the trust has been modified to increase their benefits, it is presumed to be elder abuse and the burden is on the other party to show that it was not.

This is certainly a matter that our firm is equipped to deal with on your behalf.
