Signs that deserve a closer look
One sign alone does not decide a legal matter. The full facts and documents need to be considered.
- Property changed ownership unexpectedly.
- Accounts were emptied before or after a death.
- A family member will not explain where assets went.
- Important records or personal property are missing.
- A deed, beneficiary form, will, or trust changed unexpectedly.
Potential next steps
What may be considered
Depending on the facts, the documents and available evidence may point toward one or more options.
Review ownership and transfer records
Request trust or estate information
Investigate disputed transactions
Evaluate a trust or will contest
Consider court relief when supported by the facts
