The estate I am referring is in California. My father-in-law died 15 years ago without a will eventhough a week b4 he died, he told my husband and brother-in-law that he wanted the property to go to them. The property worth about $4 millions is by default under my stepmom-in-law's name. 2 years ago she told my brother-in-law that a developer contacted her and in 2 years time, the property will be sold and will split the proceed. Nothing happens since. In January this year, my husband and his bro went to meet her and she told my husband to make arrangement and sell the property. She backed out of it after my husband found a realtor that have a buyer willing to pay what we asked for.
There are numerous examples to lead us to believe that is she is becoming mentally very imcompetent and forgetting what she have told us or made decisions on. She have also told us when we were out there visiting early this year that she has depression.
Our concern here is should anything happens to her, since there is already showing signs that she is not competent is making decisions, we will end up losing the property that my father-in-law left for his children. What can we do to ensure that the property would end up back in the family. She has a brother and a niece and nephew. She does not have any children with my father-in-law. The property were once under both my father and mother-in-law's names until divorce.
Me and my husband are legal-blind and don't know what are available out there. Any help, suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
