Q: Hi.. I have an estate and special needs trust question as the bengiciery. Estate is in Pittsburgh PA
My father was a liver transplant patient and he was also my grandma's care taker whom he lived with. I believe it was 2008 my grandma became very ill and we thought we may loose her so in an effort to save my dad from any issues with his disability/SSI he hired an attorney to draft a special needs trust . Fast forward to 2013 my grandma pulled through and made a mirical recovery from her 2008 health scare but my father suddenly passed away from a massive stroke due to 2 blood clots in his brain. Fast forward to now . My grandma just passed away a week and a half ago I am the beneficiary of the trust and my dad's will . My grandma was the original owner of the home and my dad was the beneficiary in her will then me if he passed. Being he died before her and the trust was made under the opposite circumstances as we thought she would pass leaving my dad living and exercising the trust. do I face any issues with my inharitence? How should I go about this ? It's just me and I need help. Thx
A: I would need to read both wills and the trust to answer your question.
