My parents have had a living trust (Calif) since 1988. My dad passed in 1998, and the trust was divided into an A-B-C trust in which my sister and I have been named as the successor trustees and the majority beneficiaries. As my sister and I have been having problems with my mom (91 y.o.)... and they seem to be getting worse. She is a narcissist and may be in the beginning stages of dementia. She is saying that she will be "making some changes". I'm not sure what she means. What I think I've been told is that the B and C trust (Marital and Decedent) once created are IRREVOCABLE and the Survivor is not irrevocable.


My sister and I are wondering if we can be disinherited?? Does anyone know??


Thanks in advance for any info that anyone can provide.

My mom had a trust from 2000 & brother took her to a lawyer to amend her trust removing me from inheriting anything & leaving it all to him. She was 95 when this was done with dementia so the answer is yes you can be disinherited.

It may be at least portions of this trust became irrevocable (hence unchangeable) on the death of your father, those portions pertaining to his progency, especially if this was HIS trust and not "their" trust. But what you must have now is a professional opinion; to take your copy to an elder law attorney at once. It is well worth your time and money to get the correct information. Your Mom may well be able to change some things about the trust, especially as concerns any money SHE might leave, but I would check this out, as I sure am not a lawyer, and you do need one to answer this. These trusts can be written all sorts of ways, including a wife having life estate and all funds from rentals, etc, and the properties passing then to children. Do check your trust. They are as individual as fingerprints. As to dealing with a narcissist? Were I the child of one I would walk away and let her do what she may with her money.

Yes. My brother and I just took his father and his wife to an attorney and had the trust dissolved, as it was made in 1990 and 3 of the named people are now deceased, There was no reason to have a new trust as their assets were not over 6M each. A new will, living will and POA was drawn.
