How do I get half of whatever money my family member left?

Answered by attorney Christopher Emmanuel Benjamin (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at The Barrister Firm, P.A.
There should have been a final accounting and distribution filed with the Court; you may take a look at the Court file to see what she has filed with the Court and if there is any that is untrue you should bring it to the attention of the Court or retain counsel for assistance.

Can my sister sue for financial compensation for an addition to my home that our mother paid for?

Answered by attorney Bruce Robins
Estate Planning lawyer at Feder Kaszovitz LLP
Your sister can sue, because anybody can sue anybody for anything, but unless there is some relevant fact that you've omited, I don't see that she has any kind of a case.  Assuming that  your mother is competent and not being unduly influenced by yourand/or  your husband, she can do what she wants with her money, including using it to put an addition on your house.  Neither the money she  spent, nor the addition to your home, are her possessions. Executing a will means having it signed, witnessed, etc.  I think you mean that you would like to abide by its terms when your mother passes, and I see no reason why you can't (although you may have to probate the will, particularly if your sister disputes any of the division of property.

What happens if I was never notified that I was a beneficiary in a trust?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Without reviewing the trust document itself, no one can answer this question.  In some states a trustee is required to provide an annual accounting to any beneficiary 25 or older.  But damages must be shown before a beneficiary who was not notified is entitled to any compensation.  "Strong arming" might fall within the category of undue influence but undue influence is extraordinarily difficult to prove.  Without reviewing the trust document itself (which if it was available publicly appears to be a trust created by Will), it appears that you are likely entitled to nothing and would spend a great deal in legal fees trying to get it.
