| | | stole 19,000
a little over a year ago my dad stole 19,000 dollars of mine but can technically keep it because my parents put it in a mutual account for me in there name. He does not want to give it back at all and i've tried lots of things to get it back and its making my life stressful, is there anything i can do??

Would be interested in where the money came from (settlement, bequest, savings), how the money was held, how it's held now, how old you are. | |

| Hello strong:
You need a lawyer. Get on the phone and keep calling until you find somebody who you feel comfortable with, and HIRE him.
You'll only have to pay if you win.

I don't know if an Attorney would take this type of case on a contingency basis - would be interested in finding out. Usually the "proof" and disbursements are pretty costly and I do not know what different Bar Associations allow to be contingent cases. Of course, contingent or not the client still has to pay the out of pocket.
Would still be interested in where the money came from initially - gifts, settlement - ? Wonder if father is guardian or trustee and whether Court ordered - ? | |

| Strong_Dan, we need clarification. Did you give your parents 19,000 to put into a mutual fund? (Which would make me wonder where you got that much cash at 17, but that's a separate issue.) Or did your parents tell you that they have 19K set aside for you in a mutual fund? (Which makes more sense to me.) Because that'sthe heart of the issue. If you did not earn the money by working, lawsuit settlement. inheritance, gift, whatever, then your dad hasn't stolen it. | |
