What papers do we need to file to have someone from the court to oversee my mom’s affairs?

Answered by attorney Christine Sabio Socrates (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Christine Sabio Socrates Attorney at Law
From the information you have provided, it looks like your sister is the initial co-Trustee and successor Trustee of your mother's trust. She does have a right to handle your mom's affairs within the provisions your mother has set up in her trust. If you feel she is not fulfilling her duties as Trustee, there should be provisions in the trust that address when and how you can remove her as trustee. If she is committing any type of fraud or is in breach of her fiduciary duty, you can bring an action against her in Probate Court. I would suggest you have an attorney review the facts of this case as well as the trust document to fully answer your question. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Is a car that belonged to the deceased person's wife part of his estate?

James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Answered by attorney James Bloomfield Oberholtzer
Estate Planning lawyer at James Oberholtzer, Chartered
Unless there is something very unusual involved, the car is owned by the person on the title. It is not part of your estate.

Can I get my inheritance early?

Answered by attorney Norman Harry Green (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Irsfeld, Irsfeld & Younger LLP
Depends on the nature of the arrangement: Is it a trust? Depends on terms of the document. She may be able to resign and designate you as successor trustee, or to petition the court. Is it a custodianship (under CTMA - Calif. Transfers to Minors Act)? Probably easier. Is it a guardianship - not without court permission Other?
