Legal Question in Family Law in New York

Re: When someone is the beneficiary of a large sum of money that belongs to some

The terms of the Trust must be in the Will

Obtain a copy from the Surrogate's Court

where your parent died

If there is none, and only the oral promise

that the money would be so used, you are

probably out of luck

If there is a document, an accounting

proceeding can be brought in court, and

the trustee/relative held accountable

I would need to know more about how the money was disposed of. Was there a will? Was there a contract or any other document -- or was this purely verbal? Jeremy Morley

If your father left some type of trust, with your uncle as a trustee, you need to sue your uncle. If your uncle is not returning your calls, you need to retain an attorney. Your uncle may respond very quickly to an attorney, knowing he may be sued.
