What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
My grandma died in Aug 2014. My mother was her trustee. Now my mom has died. According to the trust agreement my mothers brother is now the trustee of my grandmas estate. In her will, my grandmother left her estate to be divided 50/50 between my mother and her brother. Since my mom died that means her portion now goes to me since she wasn't married and I'm her only child- I've already confirmed this by having the will read by an attorney. My uncle is having my grandmas house appraised to be sold. He has already told me "Hell will freeze over before I give you ANYTHING from my moms estate" and then hung up the phone. I've already sent certified letters showing that according to the will, I am now entitled to 50% of the estate. He called me back and basically told me "I always hated your mom and I damn sure won't let you get any of MY money. It's all going to me when I sell the house!" and then hung up again. What can I do if he doesn't give me 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the house? According to my research I could sue him. Is that correct? What would happen if he spent all the money?
