Re: Grandmothers will

First this can become a very big problem with you and your sisters missing out on what appears to be your right to inherit your father's share in a future estate. Unfortunately to give you any more specific advice we would have to read the will that you mentioned to see what it says about children taking the bequests of their parents. In addition we would need to review your father�s will or know what happened to his estate. We have a lawyer who focuses his practice in this area. Please contact me to make an appointment to meet and review the will and discuss your father�s estate.
