Can my aunt forcibly take the family photos that my grandmother gave me over 30 years ago?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
There may be other options. It is generally possible to scan photos and it may be possible to get those to your aunt. While she may have been legally entitled to the estate, there is a statute of limitations for estate matters and that has long passed. I do not think she has a case at all. Since she is your aunt, I would try to work this out, but if that is not possible, I would tell her to take a hike.

Is there anything I can do, do I have any power at all or do I sit and watch my family legacy and my future go down?

Answered by attorney Charles Richard Perry (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Charles R. Perry
It sounds like you need to speak to an attorney that handles trust litigation. This attorney can review the trust document, look at the court filing as to the trust, and look at the actions of your mother. The attorney can then advise you as to whether you can force a distribution of the restaurant to you as the beneficiary, or petition the Court to replace your mother as the trustee.

You need to obtain the services of a probate litigation lawyer to defend against any claim of your father re the insurance proceeds; do not send the check back until you have good legal advice to consider your options.
