Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Colorado
Decease Heir of Will
My mother died in 2004. Her mother died in 2004 and in her will left 80% of everything to my mother (deceased). Does the items in the will go to me or my step-father or to her other dependents that were not mentioned in the will. The will was handwritten and notarized by--name removed--non-family member. Is the will binding? The home was left to my uncle but is not allowing certain heirs to go on the property to get items that were left to individuals mentioned in the will. Is this legal and what needs to happen to allow people to get what was left to them by the decesed mother/grandmother?

You have a fairly complicated situation. Without much more detailed facts, it is not possible to answer. You should meet with an Elder Law attorney in your area for a thorough review of your situation.
