Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
Evil Grandmother Holding Fathers Possesions to sell them and won't even sell the
My grandmother is the beneficiary of my late fathers estate according to the will they produced. Problem is that she has confiscated all of the documents such as his will, life insurance policies, and changed the locks on the house. My father was very clear of his intentions reguarding his personal items and his life insurance policies having us three read the will and explained his life insurance policies so that it would be clear that we would be ''taken care of financialy when he goes''. I have obtained a copy of the will they produced to the Probate Court but it isn't the will my father had us read last year (2001) which still lists her as the executor but with explicit instructions that the guitars and the remainder of the estate was to be divided among the three of us as the beneficiary. She is planning to sell his guiters but will not even sell them to us. Is there a way to force her to produce ALL of the documentation she removed from the house? There are three active life insurance policies that we are aware of, but do not know if we are listed as a beneficiary or if there was a trust fund intended to be set up for us children. Please, Please, Please Help US!

I strongly suggest you contact an attorney in your area for a consultation about these matters, particularly if you believe the will that was produced for probate was/is not the last will of your father. These matters can be very complicated, expensive, and time taking, particularly when parties contest the probate.

Hire a lawyer immediately, who practices in or around the county where you father lived!
It'll be a will contest, since you know there was a later will, and the will your grandmother produced may well be thrown out of court. But legal action is needed instanter, and it won't be inexpensive.
