Is a 5 day real estate offer to me in a memorandum a legal contract?

Estate Planning lawyer at Robert J. Slotkin
He did breach the agreement and you can take it to court. However, contracts have to be supported by "consideration." Did you pay anything for the right to purchase or put down a deposit? If not you will not get anywhere in court and should drop it.

My mother died leaving the farm in a trust to me and now grandma thinks she owns the farm what do I do?

Answered by attorney Brian Haggerty (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Minor, Bandonis & Haggerty P.C.
The exact language of the trust needs to be analyzed. Who is the trustee? If grandma has the life estate (assuming standard language, but, always, look at the trust document to answer any question regarding the trust), then she has the right to the possession and enjoyment of the property. She cannot commit waste, she has to keep it in good shape for when you take over. Spend a few bucks to have a lawyer review the particular language of this trust. Your lawyer may find specific things in your favor, or may find some leverage you can use against grandma.

How long does a daughter have to probate a will after the death of her father and can her mother file for her if she is sick and unable to do so?

Any person or organization with an interest in the estate can file an estate petition in probate court. The petition should be filed as soon as possible after the death but a few months delay doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't result in any harm or loss to the assets of the estate.
