My grandson's mother lost her father about 10 years ago. He was not even 50, so it was a surprise. Her uncle, the brother of the dad, sort of sold off the dad's stuff without talking to the daughter. She found out about it when she went by his place and found him having a garage sale. She starts looking at a table, to buy, when she figures out it is her dad's stuff. She called him on it, and he did not speak to her for 5 years.

About 2 months ago her grandmother, his mother, passed away. He is the executor, and has been very evasive about what is going on, has not provided a copy of the will until the last possible moment, like when he is legally compelled to do so. He denied that there was an inventory of the estate, which I think may be legally required, too.
He did give her a picture of a list of stuff she is supposed to get, including jewelry. The grandmother specifically told her she was to get certain items. Items the executor has apparently given to his kids. Fairly certain that is criminal, felonious depending on the value.

I am sort of wondering who it is you report this stuff to in California. I guess to the Superior Court or something, it is all pretty sad. I suspect the IRS might be interested as well. I am pretty sure there will be a couple of y'all who have been through this sort of thing and have a bit of insight.
