Legal Question
aunt's trust
36 hours before my aunt M. passing she changed her
trust. There are liquid assets totalling
$28,000 which belonged to my aunt and about 3/4
million in oil royalities and a house which are hard
assets. The following note was written:
I M. being of sound mind and body bequeath the
following assests to: 1/2 to my sister 1/2 to my niece
And all previous wills and trusts are void. (The
understanding the this would be the liquid assets, not
all assets.) My family asked for a copy of the previous
wills and trusts and my father asked my cousin if he
was mentioned and my cousin stated he was never
once mentioned. When we finally recieved the old will
my cousin had lied because my father is mentioned on
every page of the old wills, up until 2001(which was the
last will until the hand written note). There was a
hearing NOV.1st where my cousin and aunt S (aunt M's
sister) petitioned the courts in Nevada for the 28,000 in
liquid assets. My father did not contest it. My question
is what happens to the hard assets (house/oir
royalities)? Can my aunt S sell my aunt M's home?
