4worldlovers: Q: Should I become administrator or sue my neice?: My neice became poa for my 90 year old dad. 2weeks before he died. Took all his bank account of 60k he died two weeks later. She says there's no money now .so where's the money Nf isnt she supposed to give an account of where the money went

A: Fred’s answer: Either option requires you to obtain authority to act on behalf of your father’s estate. You could file a petition in probate court to be appointed with temporary authority to obtain bank records and other documents. This might help you determine what happened and when it happened. If your suspicions are true and she is in possession of money that belongs to your father’s estate you could petition the court for an order that she return the money to the estate. Otherwise, you could sue her on behalf of the estate. You could be looking at fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or other causes of action. I would seek assistance from an attorney familiar with this type of situation.

Q: What happens if a grantor left me property in a trust but later tried to sell it?: My friend left me real property in a trust, at some point before his death, he put the property on the market for sale. The property did not sell during his lifetime. He passed away and now the trustees are keeping the house on the market. Can I stop them from selling it? If not, do I still get the proceeds from the sale?

A: Fred’s answer: If there is a valid trust, the language within the provisions of the trust determine what can or cannot be done. Most revocable trusts allow for the settlor/creator to make changes during his lifetime, including selling real property. However, the trust likely became irrevocable when your friend died. Do you have a complete copy of the trust and any amendments? Whether you would be entitled to the proceeds of the sale would also be determined by the language in the trust. If you are a named beneficiary of the trust you can request a copy from the successor trustee.

The trustee may be proceeding under the presumption that your friend attempting to sell the house is evidence that he no longer intended for you to have it. You can file a petition in probate court to determine 1) whether the trust is valid, and 2) whether you are entitled to the property or proceeds of the sale. You can also seek a temporary restraining order until the issue can be brought before the court. There are many potential moving pieces here. I would start by sitting down with an attorney immediately to help you obtain and/or review the trust documents.

Q: My husband inherited 1/4 of his parent home: My husband inherited 1/4 of his mothers home. My husband and I bought his other siblings out, now the home is ours. Am I entitled to this property or does it go to his children or his siblings since he inherited 1/4.
