Q: Basically my father passed I am the trustee and I have two sisters a half and a whole. My father made me the trustee
He also made my mom the second trustee so if I die she gets everything. I even put my assets in the trust. It has its own tax Id and everything. The house my viper my 1976 classic bronco and all my money and etc are all in the trust it’s a revocable trust and I have left it open since my father passed making sure insurance and everything was in the trust. I have cancer. Leukemia. Got it July 1st 2019. I’m in remission my thought process was if I died. My mom could just take my dad and my death certificate and change all the property to herself. But I am thinking of willing stuff and etc. I want to do it in a trust to avoid probate. My father passed we didn’t go to probate. No one contested the trust. Beneficiaries were my mother and me. I have the two sisters. I just want to make sure they can’t petition the trust it being years later and if I pass it go to my mom and they try to fight over my stuff which is basically the trusts. .
A: I’m not clear on what the question is here. You may want to revise. It sounds like it would be beneficial to speak with a probate attorney. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
