Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas
My mom died 5 years ago. Three months later, her father died, not giving him time to take my mom out of his will, which would mean I am entitled to her share of inheritance. However, my grandmother had a living trust in the estate during this time, and is about to pass. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY. What can I do to insure my aunts file the will in probate instead of emptying the accounts and ignoring the will? I am thinking I need to do my research NOW and get an attorney lined up NOW rather than wait. I already searched and found no probate filing for my grandfather which makes sense, everything passed to my grandmother, but has only grown in interest and cash over these years.

If you have access to the wills, you can file them for probate (as an interested party). If you're worried that someone is going to steal estate assets, you need to get these filed sooner rather than later.
