Q: I have trust documents set up to protect my property and assets. The house is in the name of my three children, but I want to take away my daughter’s share and give it to one of my sons instead. Can I legally do that?

My late father passed away 38 years ago and my mother is illiterate. There was no will. My uncle and his partner were the administrators and I believe they maladministered the estate as they both benefitted from my father’s death. I also believe that their solicitor should not have signed and authorised certain things with regards to the administration of the estate. What action can I take?
