Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

My mom has a public guardian . Before the guardian my sister and her husband got my mom to sign half the property to them and took her life savings of $650,000 of gold . Police do not have enough evidence to convict . When discovering this I had my mom sign a deed of 95% of her half to me . Then the public guardian was assigned . weeks later I get a letter from the assessor's office saying they could not transfer property to me because my sister had deeded it to a living trust which I help my mom revoke the trust . The trust was already revoked when I tried to record deed . The public guardians office will not record property back to my moms name so I can record my deed . What can I do . Or what can a attorney do ?

It is difficult to say what an attorney could do. It depends on your mother's mental capacity and desire to change what has been done. You may need to request a conservatorship for your mother. You can also request the court to revoke the trust since it may have been obtained through fraud or elder abuse.

Again, an attorney would need much more information to be able to form a proper opinion on what to do.
