My sister created a will and trust for my mom and made her sign it. What shall I do?

If you believe that your sister created a will and trust for your mother and made her sign it without her full understanding or against her wishes, you should take the following steps:

  1. Contact an attorney: Seek the assistance of an attorney who specializes in estate planning and trust law to help you navigate this complex issue.

  2. Review the will and trust: Carefully review the will and trust to determine if there are any significant differences between them and if they accurately reflect your mother's wishes.

  3. Gather evidence: If you have any evidence, such as witnesses or letters, that support the validity of the will and trust or that they were signed under duress or without your mother's full understanding, provide it to your attorney.

  4. Challenge the will and trust: If there is evidence that the will and trust were not executed properly or do not reflect your mother's wishes, your attorney can help you challenge them in court.

  5. Notify other interested parties: If there are other beneficiaries or executors named in the will and trust, they should be notified of the situation and the steps being taken to resolve it.

It's important to act promptly and carefully to ensure that your mother's assets are distributed according to her wishes. The probate or trust administration process can be complicated, and having the guidance of an experienced attorney can help ensure that your rights are protected and that the process is carried out smoothly.
