Description

Dear Liz: My parents created a living trust in 1999 and deeded their residence into the trust. Later, they sold that home, moved to another state and put their new residence into the same trust.

In 2014, my father was diagnosed with dementia. He died in 2020. During his illness, he destroyed most of the critical information related to the trust document, such as the attorney’s name and the trust document itself.
