Legal Question in Family Law in United States Minor Outlying Islands
legally obtaining inheritance
My grandparents left me a large sum
of money when they died. Because I
was not old enough to manage it at
the time, my mother took custody of
it. When I turned 18 she forced me
to sign custody to her for her to
manage it while I was in college. Now
I am 21 and it is time my mother
and I go our separate ways but she
refuses to sign the money back over
to me saying that I will waste it and
do not deserve it. She was never in
my grandparents will at all because
they disliked her. What can I do to
get my money back in order to move
on with my life? My account is
currently under her name as a
custodian at Fidelity Investments. If I
write a check out of this account to
myself can she come after me legally
since it is under her name but legally
belonging to me? She claims that she
is entitled to keep it because I owe
her money for her choosing to pay
for my college? Is this true?

Re: legally obtaining inheritance
Without knowing what arrangement you made with your mother, I don't know what your remedy(remedies) may be. You should consult with an attorney, who will review the documents for the arrangement you currently have and make some recommendations about what you can do.
