I Think My Mum Has Fraudulently Robbed My Nan Of Her Home
Hi I'm looking for some advice/route to take.
●My nan "thought" she owned her house (mortgage paid off with her partner and left in his will to her) ●In 2014 she thought my mother was taking her to get her will wrote up. ●This week, my nan wants to alter her will due to internal family issues to split things evenly. ●she doesn't have a copy of her will and says my mother has it. ●I'm told by a family friend my mother boasts about owning 2 houses ● I do a registry check on the address in question and the house was changed ownership in 2014 to my mother ● My nan can't remember (shes 86 now) the solicitors they went too 100% but the address she provided me is a mortgage firm that looks like they don't deal with wills. ● My nan is almost certain that she never signed the house into my mother's name as it was in my nans "will" that she would receive it when she passes.
So I don't speak to my mother cause she's a psychopath. My nan talks rarely to her. I've told her not to contact her about anything until I can try and get some help. I don't live local to her and over 3 hours away via car so it's kinda difficult to sort things.
So I think that my nan was fraudulently lead into believing she was signing a will agreement (the supposed solicitor was recommended by my mother not the one my nan has used for previous matters) and instead has signed the deed of the house into my mother's name. She has since purchased another property and charged my nans property as I can only presume some sort of down payment.
I've explained to my Nan that my mother indeed owns the house and that it's not part of the will she thinks she signed. She obviously is very angry about what my mother's done.
If anything, what can we do? I'm at a bit of a loss here, as said, I live 3 hours away, my nan is 86, lives alone has been in that house 60 odd years, believes she still owns it and with my mother being how she is, if my nan was to challenge her about it, it wouldn't surprise me if she contacted police or whoever to say she's there illegally.

Any help and advice is much appreciated
