Q: There was a trust (by Grandma) that if Son passes away before the age of 60 all of the property goes to grandchildren.->
(Because the Son's wife married just for money). But then somehow the trust was discharged and all given to the Son prematurely, prior to instructions given in the trust. (No idea how that happened legally) Well the son passed away before 60 with no Will and now the Son's wife is reaping all the benefits of the property. Selling off family heirlooms and is now selling both homes where she will receive 1/3 of all of the funds. Is there anyway to reverse this?
A: If a parent leaves assets to his or her children, the in-laws are generally not included. So, unless the daughter-in-law is specifically listed in the trust or will, she shouldn’t get a cent. You should IMMEDIATELY hire a lawyer to help stop the bleeding.
