You may be entitled to a portion depending on the circumstances of this case. Did your father add your aunt to his deed under any false pretenses or coercion? Was your father competent? Did he have a valid will? More facts are needed in order to properly evaluate this matter. You can contact me for a complimentary consultation at 216-378-7570 or www.socrateslegal.com.
