What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Southold, NY
My grandfather died 13 years ago. Recently, I found his will. The very first paragraph lists my grandmother as executor of the will. The second paragraph says, "Upon my detah I leave the sum of $10000 to each of my grandchildren."
That money has never been seen by any of us.
I recently asked the lawyer that did his will. He asked "Your grandmother never gave you that monay?" I said no, and he changed the subject.
I have been told, that he should have set that money aside in trust for us, I have been told that was her responsibility. What happens now that grandma's money is all gone?
Also, she is selling the house to kin. At the time of mortgage, one check from the bank goes to pay off monays from a reverse moatgage, one check goes to my father for $120000 and another check to her seperatly. The maney sto my father is his inheritance from the estate, being settled now. HOW MUCH state income tax does my father have to pay on that money? It wouldnat really be considered an inheritance, because shes not passed, but she wants him to have it.
Im confused, and tired of getting the run around from them NY lawyers on the island.
