Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
Deed
When my mother died 4 1/2years ago my sister took over as my sickly fathers legal guardian.Two years ago my sister was able to get my 80 year old father a VA morgage for a house.She refinanced the loan at a lower percent and had papers prepared for a quick claim deed in Dec.for the house to go in her name before my father passed away.Can she do that without my knowledge?

Re: Deed
Yes, however, as her guardian she cannot have exerted undue influence or taken advantage of a mental condition. You certainly have the right to investigate these issues and ask the court to look into the matter if you have proof of a breach of fiduciary duty.
