Re: father needs to know his rights to his late wifes estate
Your question was not clear on several points. Who is the trustee of the trust? Who are all of the beneficiaries of the trust? What is the purpose of the trust? Who is making your friend buy the house or threatening to sell it? Were the assets that the deceased wife left to the trust all hers before the marriage? Are the parents of the 2 children your friend and the deceased wife? Without more information, the possibilities cannot be explored.
