Dad's 2010 trust/will left me the condo but wife(co-trustee) has a "life interest." When father past away, the wife(Gloria) took all the monies. Probate case lasted 6 years in LA County and I won the case. Gloria is now impersonating me as the owner. She is fixing things and remodeling without my knowledge or consent. I have had 3 water damages in 2019 alone. I want to sell the condo and be rid of her. I am willing to sell below market value to her so I do not have to take care of this for the rest of my life. I have known Gloria longer than the years my dad was married to her . It has caused me so much stress. Her rent is way below market value and I am suffering a loss each year. Please help. I live in San Diego area.(Probate, Real Estate law, Litigation)
If she has a life estate, you cannot collect rent. She owns the home for life -- or until she decides to move. She can fix things and remodel without your knowledge or consent as long as she does not waste the estate.
