Q: Can a court judgement be vacated later if it was determined that all of the witnesses and the lawyer lied in court?
There was a court trial back in 2006 about a property that was gifted to a beneficiary. The other siblings filed in probate court to have the property returned to the trust and won. Later it was determined that the siblings that filed the petition lied in their testimony to the settlor on the witness stand to get the property back. There was also the issue that the property had been moved to the living trust of the settlor before the trial but the trial was conducted under the family trust. The living trust did not have a seperate case opened for it at that time.
A: Why did you wait 13 years?!?! Any statute of limitations or right to appeal is expired.
