Hi, I am in California and am 18 years old. My grandmother passed almost 2 years ago, and left me 25% of her estate. Currently, my aunt controls all of my funds and i live with her. I was just wondering if it were at all possible to get control of these funds before i turn 25 (as i am led to believe was the age designated in the will).
In a related question, i would also like to know how my aunt was able to purchase my share of my grandmothers house from me without my consent, nor that of my parents. My aunt was given 50% of the estate in the will and bought the 25% given to my uncle (which required a substantial amount of negotiating from what I understand), and also purchased my share of the house. I was a minor at the time she purchased my share, but i still thought that either me or my parents would have to sign something (or at least be informed of the amount i "sold" my share for). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
