What can I do if brother has the power of attorney but left me out of everything?

Answered by attorney James P Frederick (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Frederick & Frederick Attorneys at Law
Your situation is too complicated to address, here. You need to have an attorney review all the facts with you. I do not know what you mean when you say that he read the Will and the facts "don't match." You should have an attorney assist you with this before you lose your entire inheritance.

Can I represent my deceased mother? How?

Answered by attorney Edward L. Armstrong (Unclaimed Profile)
Estate Planning lawyer at Edward L. Armstrong, P.C.
As an heir at law of your mother you should consider filing a claim against the estate of your grandmother, if an estate was opened for her. If no estate was opened and more than a year has passed since her death, no estate can be opened but you could retain counsel an institute an action to determine heirship. In either of these situations you need to hire an attorney.

What happens if I was never notified that I was a beneficiary in a trust?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Without reviewing the trust document itself, no one can answer this question.  In some states a trustee is required to provide an annual accounting to any beneficiary 25 or older.  But damages must be shown before a beneficiary who was not notified is entitled to any compensation.  "Strong arming" might fall within the category of undue influence but undue influence is extraordinarily difficult to prove.  Without reviewing the trust document itself (which if it was available publicly appears to be a trust created by Will), it appears that you are likely entitled to nothing and would spend a great deal in legal fees trying to get it.
