Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Utah
My issue is my uncle is trying to sell the condo thats been promised to me my whole life. My grandfather passed away a year or so ago, but grandma is still alive she just moved to an assisted living home. (Side note about a month before my grandpa died grandma cut me off, so it seems to me grandpa loved me alot more then grandma dose or ever will ) but anyways in the will ive read it my house life it says that the condos mine no irs,no marriage separation, or something else can take the condo for me... but i
my grandma and my uncle are trying to sell the condo as we speak.. what can I do about this... the condo is sitting vacant , so could I just move in what kinda repercussions of that could happen could I get. In trouble or are they in the wrong or doing something illegal trying to sell it out from under me? What can I do?!?

It all depends on titling, and exactly what the will says. If there is no trust, and there is just a will, the house will normally go to the surviving spouse, especially if the house was held in joint tenancy. If this is the case, the condo will belong to your grandmother, and she can do what she wants. I suspect the will said that if your grandmother predeceased him, your grandfather was leaving the condo to you. He died first, so this may not apply. Again, it depends on two things; titling and what the will actually said.
