Issue with Will and deeds left in my name

[greencider]

Hi everyone

My late mother died last december. I had a bad relationship with her as she was abusive to me in my childhood. She named my sister and brother-in-law as the executors.
I am writing for legal advice on this matter.....
My mother had a second home which she sold for approx £330K in 2016. I have been told by my brother-in-law that my name was put on the deeds (but I was not informed of this) and there is CGT (capital gains tax) to be paid. However the monies of the sale of the property was put into a trust which I have no control of. She has named me as only a discretionary beneficiary to the trust and my sister and brother-in-law as both trustees and executors. I am suspicious about why I wasnt informed. Is this a cynical and spiteful move to burden me with the debt of CGT yet provide me with no means of paying it off? Id like some legal light shed on this situation.
On the flip side can i bring legal action against false representation of my name on the deed documents without my consent and also as I am the man whose name is on the deeds can I assert a claim to the monies despite the money put into a trust out of my reach?
I am grateful for any help given to me

Regards

Hi Green

des8 Can you take a look and advise, many thanks.

You say your name is on the deeds.
Do you mean that you are named on the Land registry proprietorship register as the owner or you had been named as such prior to the sale?

In any event there seems to have been some fraud in you were not aware and yet documents must have been signed in your name.

I would suggest you have at least one consultation with a solicitor to ascertain your options and whether or not you should report it to the police.
You should be able to get a single fixed fee (or even free) consultation
