How can I research a trust to find if it was legally changed or not?

It would be unusual for the aunt to have power to change the trust, but possible. If your grandmother is still alive, you can ask her. If not, you can see if she had a will or if her estate was probated, and you might find a copy of her trust there. Look in the probate court for the county or area where she died.\n\nYour aunt may have been given a general power of attorney, which might or might not have given her the power to change the trust. Without some evidence to present to a court, there is not much you can do.

It depends if the trust is revocable or not revocable.  It also depends on whether you transferred the house to your children's trust when you were insolvent.  It also depends if you transferred the house to your children's trust to hinder, delay or defraud your creditors.  Transfers like this might be avoidable as fraudulent transfers by a trustee in bankruptcy.  And depending on the law in your state, there could be a "look-back" period of up to 6 years or under certain circumstances, 10 years.\n\nHowever, if you were solvent after making this transfer and made it with no intent to hinder, delay or defraud, such a transfer may withstand attack by a trustee in bankruptcy.  Much depends on the facts of each particular case.

take it to a bank and have them check it. \n\n2.00 bills are older, so the watermark may not exist, if they were made some time ago.\n\nGenerally the feel of a counterfeit bill is smoother than a true bill. \n\nThe Bank will know. \nGood luck.

if i were you i would check with a lawyer before anything else happens. i do not believe the realtor has the right to change anything without the sellers permission unless there was something in the contract that you signed with the realtor. read that 1st and contact a lawyer next if you feel that this was not a legal doing by your realtor. by no means would i let a closing on the property happen without finding out for sure if this was legit

You most likely don't have to do anything if the symbol changed. Call the transfer agent to be sure. The name is on the certificate. They will let you know if you need to have it reissued, most likely not.

If the living trust amendment was drawn up by a lawyer, that lawyer should have a copy of the original.\n\nA living trust can be registered at the courthouse, but it doesn't have to be.  You might go down to the courthouse and talk with them there.  If their records are all computerized, it might be easy to locate a copy of it using a computer search.

I think that you should contact a law office that specializes in Wills, Trusts, and Estates Law and seek a free consultation to see if they may be able to make a case for you or make a referral to what should be the next move. Good Luck...and keep the fire to inquire!

Go to the bank that you had the account with. If they can't retrieve the details then there is form that I think the British Bankers Association have produced on Dormant Bank accounts (ask them for it). Fill the form in and hand it back. The bank should then try locate your money (although it may take a while). Hope you find a pot of gold.lol

If it happens to be a US public company, that information can be found on SEC filings, by following the link below.\n\nIf it happens to be a not for profit organization, you can find that from the Form 990, which is public information. Guidestar is one place you can find the 990s.\n\nIf the above don't apply, you'll have to call them and ask

Ok, well to start, you'd have to check back in the title (public records of the county where the property is located) to see if the property was part of a probate.  \n\nA trustees deed means the house was foreclosed on.  (The number you're referring to is called an APN number by the way  :)\n\nGo back in the county records and see what information you can get from the recorded documents.  If there is a title insurer listed on the most recent deed, try to contact them.  If nothing else, the information you receive may be able to lead you to an attorney who handled your fathers estate and you can ask questions from there.

The state department depends on the state the property resides.  You would check the State Treasury or State Comptroller's Office.  Perform a search for "Unclaimed Property" and the state in question.

Contact the attorney who drafted the living trust.  Attorney's keep copies for their files.  Then take the copy to the Clerk's Office and let them know that you received the copy from the attorney who drafted the living trust since the original can not be located.  Good Luck!!!
