Can I sue my father's girlfriend and my uncle for dividing my father's belongings without my knowledge?

Answered by attorney Geoffrey N Germane (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Kirton & McConkie A Professional Corporation
You may very well have a valid legal claim and the time limit for bringing this claim has likely already started running. The answer to your question depends on whether or not your father left a will or a trust. If he did not, and there was no surviving spouse, you would have certain rights under the law to a portion of your father's estate, and perhaps even all of it. In such a case, you would have recourse against your uncle and your father's girlfriend for taking the property. You should consult with an attorney experienced in probate matters as soon as possible to discuss the details.
