When my grandparents passed away, there was a provision in their will for $100,000 to be left in trust for me and my 3 siblings. More specifically, each of us was to be given $25,000 in trust at the time of their death, and given the balance of that money plus whatever had accrued in interest, at the time that we each turn 21 years of age. My father was left in charge of putting that money in trust for us. He did not do so. My parents divorced in 2002. My grandmother passed away in 2005, and my grandfather passed away in 2008. My uncle was left as the executor of the estate. In February 2009, my uncle gave my father four checks for $25,000 each, written out to each of 4 kids. He also gave him a letter from the estate's lawyers stating what should be done with that money, according to the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act. That money was not put into trust. Also, neither me, my siblings, nor my mother was ever told that there was supposed to be money in a trust for us. We found out about the money in 2010, approximately 2 months after my oldest brother turned 21. When my mom and brother confronted my father about the will, at first he denied knowing anything about it. Then he changed his story to say that it was for $5,000 each, to be given to us when we turn 25 years old. When my mom and brother showed up at his house with photocopies of the checks and the letter from the estate lawyer (provided by my uncle) my father then changed his story to say that his lawyer said that he could divide the money up to split it 6 ways, to include his new children (his new wife's kids that he adopted). Later that day, he called my brother and said that he had misunderstood his lawyer and would have my brother's money to him within 2 weeks. My brother did get his money... but it was paid out in a weird way. First of all, my father purposefully left out $400, saying that he had given my brother some money out of his "trust" to move several months prior. He had given my brother $400 to move, but had told my brother that it was a gift from him and his wife. The remaining $24,600 was divided up into a cashier's check and a personal check from my dad's account. I turned 21 last August. In the weeks prior to my birthday, my father told me that I would be receiving my money. However, when my birthday came, he told me that he did not have any of the money. He says that he "drank" the money (he is an alcoholic) and that a lot of the money went to pay for his recovery. I am at a very low point in my life. At almost 22 years old, I am back living with my mother. I moved out in my senior year of high school, because I was an idiot and thought I knew it all. I am not asking for a hand-out. I am just trying to get what is rightfully mine. I have 2 little sisters, who deserve their gift from our grandparents too. Had the money been put away correctly, and accruing interest all this time, they would've had a good little nest egg to go to college with. Oh, and by the way, my step-sister is enrolled as a freshman at Long Beach State this fall. I find it hard to believe that none of our trust money is left for us, but somehow she is going to college. And my father was specifically excluded in my grandparents' will. For the past few years I had been living in Bakersfield, CA. I had an apartment with a few friends and things seemed to be going well. That was until my roommates decided to ditch out on the lease and abandon the apartment. I tried several different areas in Bakersfield to find another apartment but had no luck. I ended up being homeless and very hungry. I tried to turn things around for myself but had no such luck. I was unable to find any work in Bakersfield to support myself and I even turned to Plasma Donation to make some money to eat. I finally accepted my life for what it was and asked for my mother's help.

Answer
. Call an estate lawyer since the estate laws are different from State to State, and you need to seek an attorney, not opinion from some guy on Yahoo. Most lawyers will give you a free in office consultation, and you and the lawyer can decide if the case is worth while. You can sometime arrange a payment to the lawyer based on a percentage of what the court deems your to receive. That being said, you should also ask if the law in your State will make your father actually pay the court decision. Sometimes there aren't laws to force payment unless the judge orders property seizures. But for all that you need to talk to the lawyer. Write down all of your questions before you go.
