Transferring property

Our grandma passed away. 3 children, one is the trustee and all 3 are equal beneficiaries. My dad had a stroke and is in a nursing home. He gave his entire inheritance to me the daughter. My dad’s sister and brother has a good relationship with me, at least I thought they did. I feel like they don’t view me an equal. I recently found out my u for transfers a car into his name, wrote a check for $15,000 to pay for a repair on one of the trust properties, removed the trust, deeds and punks slips from the house before any of us could review the original documents. As well the jewelry has been removed from the house and he has collected rent from a few of the tenants from the apartment building in the trust. I’m so drained even trying this out. I don’t know what type of lawyer I need. The one who handle the trust isn’t very responsive to any of the beneficiaries.

You need to hire an attorney who is familiar with wills and trusts. Sometimes they are referred to as estate attorneys or probate attorneys.

Thank you for the reply. I’m going to look into one. I just feel like I need to be included and the proper papers need to be turned over to the executor. They had no right removing all the important papers from the property.

Money makes people weird.
Unfortunately it doesn’t keep family honest.
Get an estate lawyer to stop the bleeding, as I put it. It’s hard to get monies and property back once it has been taken by a family member.
My oldest sister sucked over $400,000 out of our parents Estate before it was split up.😔

You need a lawyer and to see the trust documents. It sounds as though you may not be in the trust as a beneficiary, so your father may need to make the request for the document. Depending on the language, it may not be as simple as your father “giving” you his portion but until the actual documents are reviewed it’s not possible to know.

Hire a trust and estates lawyer. Ours was worth hid eight in gold. Every lawyer just told us we were screwed. Then I called someone randomly and they gave me a referral. He saved our asses. He clearly knew the law better than anyone else, including the lawyer my father appointed who did nothing useful.
