Issue: My Grandpa sold my Mother his property for so he wouldn’t have to get a will. He has 3 other living children and he mentioned he only trusted my Mother. Now he is mad at her? So he got one of her sisters to start helping him out and she started telling him she heard my Mother wants to sell his property (even though he still lives on it)- this is UNtrue and no basis. My aunt just wants to own it because she intends to sell it herself (no proof).
My Aunt and him got a lawyer to sue my Mother so she can return the property. She purchased this property from him.
The basis for the lawyer filing it, is that my Aunt got my Grandpa to say that my Mother told him that he was medically incapable of making decisions (she did not), She also got him to say he doesn’t speak english. He is fluent in english and speaks very little spanish. He is very stubborn and ignores people and when he wants to ignore them more he pretends not to know english.
He is NOT fluent in spanish and neither are any of his kids.
They are suing to have my Mom return the property on the basis that she "tricked" him into selling it to her.
None of it is true, my Grandpa really has lost some sense of reality over the years. My aunt has only recently since he has been sick started to help him out. She’s the one pushing to find out about a will and his property.
What can my Mom do? What can she expect? (she is in the process of looking for an attorney) The original attorney that was involved says that my Grandpa speaks fluent English and he was willing and able to sell it at the time over 3 years ago.
Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!
