If children are promised land from both parents and even choose the acreage that is owned by parents and there are witnesses to the promise, is it valid?

There is a big dispute with a trust being declared unenforceable and now the surviving parent is no honoring any of the wishes of the deceased. All children are adults.

This question cannot be answered with the information you provided.  I assume there is litigation over the trust, and I hope you had your own attorney for that litigation.  If so, you need to pose this question to your attorney.  If you do not have an attorney for the trust litigation, I suggest you hire a probate litigation attorney immediately to represent your interests.  You cannot sort this out on your own or with the aid of an internet lawyer's opinion.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
