How do I talk to a probate lawyer before it's too late? My Sister is changing all of
My sister has changed all of our parents accounts, before my parents are deceased. My parents are of sound mind, but she is trying to convince my father to leave me out of everything, just because I'm on SSI. I help my parents quite often, but when she comes around, my Dad starts acting aggressive towards me. He isolates my Mother,and is verbally abusive towards her, and they argue a lot. She has called me, just to have someone to talk to when he leaves her alone. She says she doesn't know why my Sister has her name on all of their accounts. My Dad has been changing too many things around lately,and my Sister has talked him into a POA when my Uncle died. Now, she has opened accounts in my Parents names,just so she can transfer their assets later. I want to know if I should consult an attorney, before it's too late for me, and my children. My Father has started to despise me,as my Sister has been telling him lies about me. She even told me some of these things,as I couldn't believe how delusional she has become.
How do you get a Lawyer to take you serious,when you get disability?
I am having a lot of trouble with my Sister, and my Dad because of my disability.
The only problem is that they talk about me in public,and while I'm there,just like I'm not there. My Father absoultley despises anyone who is "On the Doles" as he puts it. He says "If your Daughter can get a job, why can't you"? Or "How much money do you owe them anyway"? (meaning the government) He picks arguments with me so much about this,I don't go to visit him & my Mother too often now. I used to go every weekend, and help my Mother around the house, and my Dad to do some other things he needed help with. But when my Sister puts her two cents in,and she'll tell my Dad "Don't give her any money, cause they'll just take it away(Meaning the gov,again) She's even trying to get my Dad to disinherit me. She's very self-centered, to say the least. She tells me "Oh, you don't have good luck with lawyers, do You "? Well, I think I'm going to need one, and soon!
Do you have to wait until someone passes away,to hire an attorney?
I would like to know if you have to wait until someone passes away to hire an attorney? Especially when you are having trouble with a family member,and you know they are trying to take over your Parents assets. My Sister has her name on all of our Parents accounts now, and my Mother was never consulted about this. A lot of their accounts have been changed, and if someone were to inquire I am positive that they would find some theft of assets.
My father has transferred my mothers assets,while she was sick in the hospital. He told me that he only had medical POA for her,but not Legal. I know this ,as he told me himself and was asking me to look up "How to get Legal POA" while my Mother was hospitalized. My Sister tried to get me to tell her where my Mom's legal papers were,but I wouldn't tell her. My Mom asked me not to tell anyone. As long as my Mother is alive,I am going to honor her wishes,period. And no one can change that. While my Mom was hospitalized,I was told that I "needed a code" to get an update on her medical condition. I was the only one in my Family that didn't have it,and no one would give it to me. As far as I knew, My Dad was going to let my Brother in law(next sister) handle his affairs. I had no objection to this,and all of a sudden everything is different.Now, my older Sister has taken over!
My Parents have always been against "wills". They always told us that everything goes to the Family equally. Why, all of a sudden does my Sister think she has a right to eveyone's belongings. I had a best friend pass over 5 yrs ago,and I have given his belongings to his Family. The few things they didn't want, I gave something to each of his closest friends. I kept his favorite hat, and it hangs in a special place on my wall. I have wore it once. My Sister doesn't care about anything my Parents own,she just wants to sell the stuff before they're even gone. It's very sad to think someone could be this way. When I look at things my Parents show me,it brings back memories from my childhood. I would like to have these memories around me for a while. That's the person I am. My Sister has even abandoned my Mother at the hospital, took the cell phone and garage door opener from her, and told her to "Take a taxi home". Her and my Father get into shouting matches quite frequently. When my Dad yells at me,all I do is ask him to please not get upset with me. I never yell at him, out of respect. Sorry if I'm going on and on, but I'm not sure what to do about the situation at hand.
