What do you mean by saying "he has maxed the value"?

Is the house mentioned in the trust or in the will?

Is the will currently being probated?

You will need to hire a real estate attorney to look at the deed to see if it was done properly. A person with Alzheimer's is considered legally not to have the mental capacity to enter into a contract, so it is very likely that your real estate attorney can get that transaction voided and then the house can be properly transferred to the legal heirs through probate.

If you are managing the trust, the proper term that you should be calling yourself is "trustee"--executor only refers to the will.

You may also want to consult with a probate attorney regarding the rest of this estate and he may have access to real estate attorney who can answer your questions.
