When a home sale turns into a family tug-of-war

Question: We gave our 30-day notice at our rental apartment on Wednesday. Yesterday, we learned our apartment was leased, sight unseen, over the weekend.

Today, our buyer’s agent made an urgent call. We are facing a significant issue with the house we are buying. A neighbor has alerted the authorities, revealing that the actual successor trustee of the incapacitated seller lives out of state. The elder son is the legitimate successor trustee, while the younger adult sibling posing as such is a clear case of fraud.
