Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

contest a probate

my adopted mother/grandma passed in may 2004, her son, my father, passed dec 2005. My adopted father passed in 1984. All had wills, and were probated, but I haven't seen them, nor was I contacted after any death. I am the only child,and I have a daughter.There are condos still in mom's name, and her son took $ 140,000 cash, 9 condo's, heirloom jewelry, one pendant worth over $28,000 that she NEVER removed, he purchased a mobile home, a truck, a small boat, had a storage facility full of antique furniture etc., and a safety deposit box. I have been told by the executor that he was deeded my father's, house, that he ''dug the grave himself'' for my mother's remains, that he new nothing of any of the other things, except that the truck was sold before my father died, and that even though I know there was lake side property in the next county, I only have $5000 from the estate. (He lived across the street form my father). I know my mother had a Lincoln Mach IV, when she died. The condos are handled by an atty in houston that refuses to respond to requests concerning the sale of units, still in mother's name as of today. There were 4 units last year in her name, now only 2 according to public records. I need Help! Someone is lying !

Re: contest a probate

You have probably waited too long. You should have hired a lawyer a long time ago. If you want to do anything about this now, it's going to cost a lot more than $5,000. Good Luck.
