What is the name of your state? Hawaii
Dad had a Revocable Living Trust made up in 1998 leaving the house to all 3 kids. Re-married in 2000. Wife said she was going to buy the kids out of their share of the house. Never happened. In 2002 we were told Dad was very ill, had less than a year to live. His health was rapidly deteriorating by March of 2003. In May of 2003, wife had Dad sell her the house, on the public record data it says cancellation of quitclaim deed & lease followed by her name. 10 days later she turned around and sold the house for $370,000, there was no mortgage on the house, so this money was free and clear. Besides the fact that Dad did not understand complicated matters, he was quite ill by the time 5/6/2003 came around, he was under heavy medication and not able to make any decision on his own, the wife took care of all financial matters. Would there be a chance that Dad could be determined Incompetant at the time of this transaction, and if so what is the next step?

My response:

Why are you asking this same question again? We have already responded to you. Why haven't you consulted with a local attorney?

We just received this new information yesterday, basically we just want to know if it is going to be worth pursuing, or should we just say forget it.

My response:

Okay. So, why haven't you consulted with a local attorney, yet?

Apparently you have rephrased your question somewhat differently.

Look at his medical records or check with his physician to see if he was on medication that would have affected his judgment at or near the relevant date. Then you would need to consult a lawyer about filing a lawsuit about this matter.
