Q: My dad an stepmother bought a piece of property together some years ago,she wanted to build a house on it.
My dad didn't want to put any money in the house to be built,so he did not. About 2yrs went by an my father took a nasty fall down the balcony stairs one night an now he has neurological problems an of course on medication. One evening i looked up the property an it use to be in both there names now only her name,so i asked my dad about this he didnt believe me i asked her she told me that i was wrong. Come to find out she asked my father to sign this piece of paper he did. Not knowing he was signing his half over to her. In a nutshell she stole my inheritance,can i do anything?
A: It wouldn't be your "inheritance" until he were to die. But you could talk to an attorney about possibly becoming his guardian and asking that the deed be set aside.
