My dad doesn't qualify for indigent services - can we speak directly to the DA during our next court date? He had a very hard time getting around, too. Can I speak on his behalf? Should I call the DA's office myself and see what can be done? He's undiagnosed so we do not have medical records to back up his memory loss.
If your father has dementia, make sure a competency hearing is performed before anything else. Bring documentation of his medical condition to court. Unless you have been designated as his guardian or are a licensed attorney, however, you will not be able to "represent" your father in this matter. Good luck.
My father's estate has been closed, and the executor and I were each made 'tenants in common' to his residence property. Time and time again, the executor has refused to allow me entrance and/or a key to the home.
Seeing as I have a Judge's order stating that I am 'tenants in common' with the executor, can I hire a locksmith to make me a key? Would I be within my legal right to do so? I intend to sue the executor for several breaches: There is an OSC hearing set, but do I have to wait until the hearing has passed and then file suit or can I do it now?
I'd appreciate an opinions offered. Thank you.
probate questions
Hi, my grandmother recently passed away and my uncle, who is a lawyer, took over the estate and divided it up between himself and my mother. Nothing is finale yet, he has only sent my mother a letter stating what he has done and what she will receive.
In the letter he accused my mother of murdering my grandmother and and my mother believes that he also was unfair in dividing up the estate, keeping almost everything for himself.
The house sold for $120,000 but some amount (we're unsure of the total but could be half or more) was still owed on the house, there was some antique jewelry, guns, a car, and misc. items, we do not know the value of these either.
He has offered her $3000 and billed her for 500 hours at $30 an hour to come to this amount.
At this point, is there anything that we can do and would it be worth the time and effort to do it?
