What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
My mother died recently and I just found out that actions were taken in her last days to cut me out of any inheritance.
This much I do know;
-She gave her sister (my aunt) power of attorney
-She was under the influence of heavy narcotics in her last days due to extreme pain
-In her last days, my aunt drafted something up and had my mother initial the documents (they will not tell me what these documents are called or where they are now)
-I was told that my name was removed as beneficiary of her life insurance policy, retirement plan, and her will (?)
What I don't know;
-If she actually had a living will or trust at all, nobody is telling me anything
Truth be told, I obviously had a strained relationship with her and her siblings, I have reason to believe that her siblings somehow conspired to put the screws to me before she died.
Can I check with the county courthouse to see if anything was filed? How should I proceed with this mess?
Many thanks in advance
