Asked on Oct 26th, 2017 on Trusts and Estates - California
More details to this question:
This new trust was used to list a new home that was purchased by my father shortly before he passed away, but was never titled to his original trust. Now the house is titled to this new trust that none of the beneficiaries have ever seen, only the Trustee (my brother) has a copy. at the time of this new trust, my father was legally blind, could not read and had dementia. He signed a Quitclaim deed to my brother as trustee of this new trust.

Once the trustee sends out a Notification by Trustee as required by Probate Code § 16061.7, you will only have four months to challenge the validity of the trust by filing a petition with the probate court. Contact an attorney in your area for a full consultation.
