They were part of his estate, which is being protested by one of the family.

Best of luck in getting them back. I have NO USE for a Thief. They are the scum of the Earth. Someone works all their life to get things they've always wanted and then only to have some Low Life Sub-Culture Less-Than-Human sneak and take it makes my blood boil.

Hope they're caught.

Thank you!



I have to confess.... I may be an engineer by day, but I volunteer for the sheriff's dept. on days off and know a thing or two about investigations.

Estate feuds is where siblings shows their true colors. I'm going through the same thing right now where my oldest brother tried to make my mom's will his will.

This has been a costly learning lesson, and I need to learn how to protect what I own and see that all my property and Model A's go to the people I want, and make sure some greedy brother can't hire a lawyer and steal them.

How would like to be told that you are not in the will, but not get to see the will. On disablity so can't pay for a lawer to get the information.

Testamentary wills are public record, there is no legal reason why you can't see the document.

Who told you that you couldn't see the will? An attorney, or someone with a vested interest in the terms of the will? 1wonton is right, but if you really need legal advice and money is a problem, you should have a legal aid society that can help. Absent that, call your local bar; there are attorneys that will do pro bono work as part of their practice, and the bar can direct you to one.

Tom,

To pretect your assets, you set up an asset protection trust and transfer title over to the trust. The trust will own it. You can name who you want the asset to go to by naming them benificuary. No sibling, ex-wife and their crooked lawyer can touch it.

Do not have your name on the trust. Name someone as trustee for you. You will control the trust.

Trust that helps.

Neil

Neil, Thanks. I'll have to look into a trust, as I don't know much about them. I've said before that in high school kids should be taught more real world problems and solutions than what is now taught, and this should include investments, death, wills, and trusts. I don't recall being taught anything about these.

Yes living trusts are a good idea and they are not that hard to set up.

Sad, unfortunate, and avoidable from what I've come to understand.

However, I'm no legal expert, and may be way off, (and if so, I need to revisit what I've put in place for my kids and grand kids), but....
Isn't a Living Trust the way to ensure it all gets dealt with according to ones wishes after your are gone?

I assisted my parents with theirs, after learning how my wife's grandparents put a clause in their living trust that if anyone disputes anything, they forfeit anything they would have received and only get $1..... (Tom - think this eliminates having to deal with siblings true colors)

Sure seemed like it was the best thing to do, parents created a living trust, I did the same....

Anyone know if this is a valid solution?
Not that it will help this guy out of this current situation, or yours Tom, but if this is
the right way to so like you stated,

"I need to learn how to protect what I own and see that all my property and Model A's go to the people I want, and make sure some greedy brother can't hire a lawyer and steal them"
