YOUR STATE NAME - YOUR STATE NAME - YOUR STATE NAME - Washington
Grandfather broke a trust (easily) in 1949. Since his death, we have discovered that property deeded to the operation of a specific entity has failed. In the original deed it stated that if the "entity"no longer operated, the land was to return to the original heirs. This came up seperate from the trust.
The city has claimed this property and sold it to a private citizen for commercial use in exchange for easment.
We are trying to locate the records of the broken trust, but are unsure where to look.
Any attorney in this particular city is suspect, because we are talking about "heritage" and so many connections to various law firms it's crazy... We feel certain we are on the tip of an iceburge, but have no idea as to how to tread. There are even indications that all assets were not revealed when the trust was broken, but this is confined to web research and "family talk". Any direction or starting point would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
