You can contact the police, of course. However, if you bring suit against the trustees and attorney, any new attorney you hire to prosecute the casse will probably know the first attorney.

The question as drafted is a little confusing but I will try to answer what I think you are asking. First, it depends on how the house is deeded. If it is deeded as tenants in common, then his portion passes according to his will. If it is deeded as joint tenants with rights of survivorship with his wife/your mother or as husband and wife community property, then it went to her when he passed and she can make a will leaving it to someone different. However, if she is not competent to make the will, then the new will made while lacking competence can be challenged. Presumably, in order to obtain title to the home, the executor will have to probate your mother's will and that is when you would challenge it in Court.

Assuming you are the only two heirs, and you have letters of administration issued by the court, then you will need to obtain an order from the court distributing the property to you and your sister, certified, to present to the credit union, who can then commence to refinance the property into your name with your sister granting her share to you, and paying off the old loan that was in your mother's name.
