Q: Who can help me file a civil suit
My father died and my stepmother got tricked by her granddaughter into signing my childhood home to her and took all of the money. She is being guarded and influenced in a way that is not in her best interest. I should have inherited half of his estate. Should I file probate or civil suit and who can help me.
