My parents are both passed away and I live in Alaska, am disabled as well. When my father passed away from cancer, my mother forged a new will 3 days before he passed away. He was not of sound mind or body. He was in a horrible condition! The lawyers that did this knowingly should not have done this. What can I do about that? Also, my mother then passed away a few years later, leaving the house and property to my sister and myself. Now my sister took my mothers new car and her jewelry and everything. She had bought a new set of wedding rings valued at approx. $5,000.00. Her car was new as well. I went down to Louisiana to visit my mother, and she was staying at my sisters home. I wanted to go and see the house for memories and my sister wouldn't take me to it, until finally one day she got a phone call and she came up to me and said," would you like to go see the house now?" I thought that was a bit fishy. So, we went and the house was in perfect shape, very clean just like my mother always kept it. I then asked my sister for the keys so I could spend the night in my parents and myself's home. I grew up there!
She got all angry and told me absolutely not and denied me access to the house. I later found out that her daughter was living in the house. I never received any rent or money from any of the items involved. No rent or anything. My sister has a good friend that was a Notory and some kind of way she took control of the home. I suspect not in a legal way. Her husband loaned me $120 for me to have some cash on hand and I let him hold a .45 caliber Llamma pistol. When I went to get it back he had gone to a friend of his that owned a pawn shop and transferred it to his name, and told me he wouldn't give it back to me that it was his now! Now, some kind of way my sister has sold her half of the house to her daughter. She told me that in January 2013 they would begin sending me $300/ month as rent until the following year when they would purchase the home from us. She insisted I sell my share of the home for $25,000. It's value is between $120-165,000.00. I never received any rent and now I own half of a house that I can't do anything with. Louisiana legal aid called me this morning and he was very rude to me but told me this is a family matter and he wasn't going to help me. Any suggestions? This money that I would have gotten by selling my part of the house was to be for me to purchase land and possibly build myself a home of my own, since my ex-wife screwed me out of the home I had here in Alaska. What can I do?

You need to get an appraisal of the home to know the actual value. In some markets they took a huge beating. Also make sure that the money received is for "rent" and not going as a down payment to the home. January 2014 is only a few months away. You might want to wait for the buyout to come to fruition but it needs to be at fair market value and not some value your sister cooked up.


Also get a current copy of the title and deeds on the property to see how it is listed.
