What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I recently came across the will of my great-grandparents. I had viewed it several times in the last 10 years. My mother and I were both named in their will and both left 50% of their estate. There was also a Trustee named in the will, who was supposed to be responsible for my trust. The money in the acct was to be given to me when I was 18 years old. I am now 23.
My great-grandparents are deceased, as well as my mother and the Trustee.
Great-Grandmother (d. 1997)
Mother (d. 2002)
Trustee (d. 2006)
Great-Grandfather (d. 2007)
Before my mother passed, we went to the bank where my trust was held and was told by a rep that the money had been withdrawn and the account closed a year before. They could give us no other information.
From what I know, the Trustee had Alzheimer's for some years, and that her family had been taking care of her. It is in my belief that her family gained access to that acct, withdrew the money and closed the acct.
What legal recourse do I have? I don't have much info on her family, as far as names or addresses. I'm sure with a few public records searches that I could get more info. Basically what can I do about this situation?
I appreciate any assistance.
