If I'm 19 years old and my late father dad left me a large amount of money but my mother has control over it, is there anyway that I can get my money?
Question Details: I only need some of the money right now, however my mom won't give it to me.
It is not possible to answer your question without more information. Whether you can access your money depends on how it was left to you. If the money was left in a formal trust (either in a will or a separate trust) then the terms of the trust state how the money is to be distributed. If the money was left without a formal document (for example as a "pay on death" account to a minor or a will without specific provisions for gifts to minors), then you would have access to the funds under your state's Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or similar statute (usually the age of majority which is 18 in most states).
You are now over the age of majority and able to manage your own legal affairs. I suggest that you consult with an estate lawyer in your area for guidance. At least some estate lawyers provide free consultations, and I suggest you make an appointment with one. This is the only way you can find out for sure what is available.
