California, Los Angeles. My Mom passed away suddenly in Sept., While looking for the deed to her Mobile home that I have lived in a year now, I found a handwritten will signed by my mom dated march 29th, 2002 leaving everything to her half sister. My mom had given me the trailer, but kept it in her name because of her ssi, she also told me that when my grandmother passed away, she wanted me to have her car.
I wanted to be honest and honor my Mothers last wishes, so I took the handwritten will to my Aunt, she got an attorney that said that the will was good, unless someone wanted to contest it. I feel my Aunt being an accountant knew that I didn't have the money to hire an attorney, my brother is incarcarated, and my sister lives up north, and left up north on bad terms with my mom 5 years ago. She said when I handed over the will to her, that My brother and myself would be taken care of. That the trailer and car would be mine. Now she has taken the car from me and I am hearing from my Grandmother that she intends to take the trailer too. Do I have any chance of reversing the circumstances that are unfolding? I feel that she wrote this will, because she knew that my Aunt was an accountant and would know how to take care of things responsibly. I was at the attorneys with my aunt when she handed over the will along with my mothers assets 11,000. approx for the Mobile, and 12,000 approx in liability. aprox 3,000.00 in credit card debt, and 5,000.00 for the burial, which came out of my moms inheritance from my Grandma who incidently didn't pass before my mom. So basically, the 5,000.00 is not part of my Moms debt. since Granny paid for the burial. That $5,000 just takes away from my aunts inheritace once my Granny has passed away. I feel like my Aunt is taking advantage of my lack of knowlege and due process, as well as my vulnerbility. Can I legally take action to stop this process before I lose the Mobile too? The will was hand written, no witnesses signatures, and not notorized? and it has been over 40 days since the passing, which my aunt said after the forty days she would sign everything over to me. But we would have to liquidate some of her antiquities (in the mobile)for my Aunt to recoup some of the money she has paid towards my moms bills? it's been nearly 60 days (My mom passed on Sept. 17th, and I have lost the car and feel as though the rug is about to be pulled out from under me. Any advice or push towards legal advice would be greatly appreciated.
