Can I file petition in the courts and stop this and have the estate and the trust account rightfully put in my name due to there neglagence of the law and not properly transfering the estate rightfully to true beneficuary me and have them taken off because of there wrongful actions by law
A:
Sorry to hear about your situation. The simple answer to your question is "yes". A court petition (lawsuit) can and should be filed as soon as possible before the assets are gone and dissapated. You need to have a lawyer review the entire situation and see what papers have been filed in the court system and in the county land records as things may have been done without you being notified.
Please refer to my blog article on trust distributions which you may find helpful. https://www.orangecountyestateplanninglawyer-blog.com/2018/04/trust-distributions-when-do-i-get-my-money/
Also, there are other articles on my blog and website describing trust administration and what should have been done when your grandparents were both gone.
