My grandmother is 86 years old, in 2018 she changed executorShip to my aunt. My grandmother gave my aunt the will and other documentation she would need in the event my grandmother passed.
My grandmother owns a houseboat worth over $200,000.00. In the documents she gave my aunt she had signed the pink slip to this houseboat and other vehicles my grandmother owns. Recently my grandmother and her daughter (my aunt) had a falling out and my grandmother decided she wanted to make changes to her Will and other documentation. My grandmother asked my aunt to return all the pink slips, documents and the will to her so she could get some changes done. She asked her around thanksgiving. My aunt finally returned the will but there were documents missing. One of those was the pink slip too the houseboat. My father went to DMV to turn in a form for my grandmother to get a duplicate pink slip for her houseboat, since my aunt never returned it.
DMV told my father that my aunt had put the houseboat into her name. My grandmother never gave my aunt the houseboat, but she was to inherit the boat at the time of my grandmothers death. But my grandmother has been wanting to sell it. My aunt put the boat into her name on DEC 7. After my grandmother asked for all her documents and the will returned to her. we need some legal advice. My grandmother is alive and of mind sound and body. Isn't what my aunt did illegal ? Theft ? I would like some guidance on our next step.. thank you
