My uncle who is deceased paid an attorney to have my name removed illegally. The attorney is also now deceased. Can I sue the bank, deceased uncle’s estate or deceased attorneys estate for allowing my uncle to have my name removed from my grandmother’s bank account as being payable to me upon her death?
