Q: Cam my mother give me a 30 day notice if I have lived in my house for 8 years? And didn't rent from her? she put in her
My grandmother bought a home for me 8 years ago, the house was in her name, when she died the house went into y mother name and was not even listed on the trust. There is a lot of info that goes with his but my main concern is she just sent my fiance a 30-day notice to move out of the house I have lived in for 8 years. I tried to contact the trust attorney and they told me my mom called them and told them not to speak to me. When I informed her that I was also in the trust the lady changed her tone and said shew would have the lawyers call me back. I don't think I will. I need help please... She was my only loving family member and I am extremely introverted and don't know who to turn to. I need legal help.
A: Unfortunately, no lawyer in the world can answer your question without reading your grandmother's trust. That is the key to this whole situation. One other note: If the law firm represented the trustee of your grandmother's trust, that law firm cannot advise you because you are a beneficiary. There are strict ethical codes for estate planning lawyers such that the lawyers can EITHER represent and advise the trustee OR they can represent a beneficiary, but cannot represent both in the same matter. So, if your mother was/is trustee and the law firm represents her as trustee, the law firm ethically cannot talk to you. You need your own lawyer to represent your interests. Best wishes.
