I am attempting to go through probate. I was in a chat on this site and accidentally restarted the chat
Hey ****! Understood. Probate can be a complex process. Can you tell me if you are the executor of the will or if there's no will involved in the probate process?
There is a will , the judge doesn't think its valid. I loved with my mom for 11 years at the property in question. It was supposed to be joint tenancy , the bank told her not to include me on title. I found the only realtor that actually sold it to her instead of taking the low priced properties and flipping them. I met with the realtor and provided , although nominal the money for the deposits to hold. i gave my mom the money , she wrote the checks, and i met with the realtor to deliver those checks. I have lived here longer than my mother did. My sister thinks she owns the place and put an order of protection against me and had me arrested; it has all been dismissed. and I have one, my sister attacked me and sliced my leather purse in half. My mother had her here as a guest and she was evicted for attacking my mom and threatening her. My sister received $*,* from the father of her child. My sister then abandoned my niece at my moms other residence. for two years.

Have you gathered all the necessary documents to support your case?
I have all of it expect police reports. I have all of the court papers, my dismissal. When my sister took hostile possession of the residence she ransacked the place, stole jewelry, laptops, my and mothers cellphones, hard drives and the estates vehicle from the estate, myself and other roommates. When my sister took over the house she stole $* , my keys and phone; she would not give me access to my purse on multiple civil stand by s. . I had court today, my lawyer is weak and not confident. I don't have any savings, i can't afford to pay one up front. I cant find any pro bono; any of the contingent want full control of the property, which doesn't sit right with me.
