What would be the proper course of action to find out if a lawyer mishandled or commited fraud in the estate of a 90 year old woman whose children now find there is no money where there once was over a million dollars just in the bank two years ago?
Also, the 90 year old mother still lives alone. The attorney will not talk to any of the children claiming client confidentiality. The mother will not show any bank statements to her children when she used to do. She says to leave the "nice man" (the attorney) alone.

I asked in a similar question but it a different catagory, I thought maybe legal adivse would help better for this problem my husband is having. He has been paying child support for a little over a year now, he was court order to pay 100 a week by a judge when they got divorced, he paid her directly through her account. He has almost 5,000 in his bank statements that show he sent them to her account. About 6 months ago he received a letter saying he owes 2,000 dollars to her for non payment. He also has a letter of which weeks and what amount was paid and her signature is on the paper, so she went to child support saying he hadn’t really been paying. She needed to go to child support because she was pregnant and needed medicaid for herself, she is remarried but receives food stamps, child support from a previous relation and she get unemployment. I don’t know whether she told dcf she was getting 400 a month or not, but now my husband bank account is negative 4,000 in checking and in savings, his license is suspended, he now has 120 coming out of his paycheck every week, on a bad week he will bring home only 260. There isn’t a way to prove if she lied on her medicaid application or not but the letter she signed basically says she’s agreed that that was all she was given. She even said to him that she would call and tell them he was up to date but they needed her to come in and she never did because she’s too lazy too, she hasn’t worked in almost 2 years. And on top of everything all the times she had not come to pick the kids up and he had them for a week or more, he has the kids 3 to 4 days during the week, and that’s overnight. she begged him to take the kids when he was working while she was giving birth to another child even though he had to work, I even watch the kids when he can’t. Is there a way to get her for fraud? And pay the over draft fees?
We just need some good advise, we are already going to child support to straighten it out, but there are overdraft fees, and lisence renstatements penalties to pay too. We have a baby on the way and need to clear up this matter.
Bad mouthing would be much worse if I wanted to, she has 5 kids with 4 different dads, has no job, is about 5′4 and 350 lbs after having so many kids and doesn’t take care of herself or the kids at all, her house has been visited by dcf twice because she doesn’t take care of her house or the kids, no its not bad mouthing its just God honest truth.

My policy was valid and the police report confirms the theft. I have provided many hours of testimony and paperwork related (presumably) to the claim, like telephone records, bank statements, repair receipts for recent repairs – why would I spend money on a car if I was going to have it stolen?? This has been going on for 3 months. I cannot afford a lawyer and am without a car.

My brother/sister are co-trustees of my mom’s living trust here in Calif.. She passed 5 mos. ago. They accepted an offer, conventional loan, 15% down, ‘As Is’, because they definitely DID NOT want any FHA repairs. Buyer’s agent had bank statements showing buyer had ,000. If they were going to put 15% down, ,500, my family agreed to pay their closing costs up to 3%.

The day escrow was to close our agent has them sign more documents. Later that day my brother realized that 2 of the documents were blank AND they referred to an FHA loan. I asked if he had a copy of the purchase agreement. The broker had given them a lot of documents but NOT the purchase agreement.

When my brother questioned the broker about it he said "What difference does it make" and has been condescending in trying to pressure him to allow escrow to close. We told him we didn’t want to pay their closing costs since they are going FHA. My brother got a copy of the purchase agreement 3 days before the close of escrow. My sister wanted to go through with the sale anyway [get the money!] but 4 out of the 7 siblings did not want to sell it to these buyers because we didn’t know what other changes that were made that could possibly make us liable down the line.

The broker, who is a notary and has been a realtor for over 30 years, said the blank documents were given to him by the lender and that the buyer and lender made the change to FHA and they did not tell him. He says "Net, Net, Net" you’re still going to get the same amount of money.

My brother stopped escrow because of this controversy.

Did we over analyze the situation? Is there a possibility of fraud {the broker chose the escrow/title}, breach, etc.

As co-trustee is my brother entitled to get a copy of all the escrow and broker documents so he can see what was going on? If so, how does he request it and what documents should he ask for?

Under what conditions/circumstances can escrow be canceled?

Identity Theft……….?

We own a little resturant and it was broken into last night. A couple hundred dollars was stolen, but what I am worry about is that we have alot of bank statements and resturant information that we have at the resturant. All of these information was on the ground and all over the place when we got to the resturant in this morning. Should we worry about identity theft because there was alot of these letters and I dont even know if some was even taken. How do should we fix this if our identity in exposed?

To make a long story short, I had a merchant credit card processing account setup through the original creditor, Cardservice International, approximately 4 years ago. During that time I only made a few charges using the account. They were large charges and totaled just over ,000 altogether. These charges were never deposited into my bank account and I was contacted by a man working with their fraud management department. He wanted me to send out products before receiving the funds so I did not agree and I stopped using the merchant account. I also contacted my bank to block their access to my checking account.

Now they have hired the collection agency Allen & Associates on their behalf to collect the ,000 that they never gave me in the first place! I’ve obtained former bank statements from Wachovia and spoken to a branch manager. I attempted to send this information to Allen & Associates, but the agent on the phone refused to provide me with a fax number where I could send documents to dispute this debt and told me that I should just get an attorney because they will sue me. They did "claim" that a representative from Wachovia will be present to testify that the deposits were made so tomorrow I plan to bring the list of supposed deposits into a branch to get a certified letter from a branch manager stating that they were not. This invalid debt for ,000 is also on my credit report as of right now. I’ve disputed it and it was removed at one point, but it appears that A&A has reported it again.

I need to legal advice on how to proceed. I’ve tried to dispute the debt, but obviously they will not allow me to even show them the documentation I have to support my claims. If I do file a suit against them do I file against the CA or the original creditor?

I inharited a 450,000 dollar home with my sister. She had bad credit so we quick claimed her portion to me so I could borrow some equity and pay the steep taxes and do some renovations and blah blah blah
I regretfully doctored the paperwork to embelish my work history and bank statements so I would get appoved for the loan. This was so bad,i know but I was scared about the state taking the house due to all the back taxes and fees so I acted out of fear and ignorance.

Fast forward 1 1/2 years…
My sister has gone NUTS!!!! she wont work, she wont take care of the house, she is terribly depressed and drinks a lot, she does not help me repay pay the mortgage, she kicked me out then my other sister a week later. I am left living with a friend with my baby while I pay the total mortgage on my own. In addition to all that, my sister is demanding I give her MORE money since she spent up the 60,000 I gave her already.

she calls me at all hours, demanding money, threatening my life, threatening to burn down the house and all in it!

Worst of all she said she will expose my fraud to the bank and have them foreclose on me. can this be done? I pay the mortgage, will they take my home and all the equity left in it?
Can I evict her? can I “divorce” her in court? Will I ever have peace again? Do I need a lawyer? I know she has contacted one (the fool called me thinking I was my sister IDIOT!)

Remember I do own the house…well with the bank too. What should I do?

In 2004 I leased my home to my brother for 00 a month which included utilities and he signed a lease. After 7 months of not paying his rent I asked him to move so that I could sell the home. He asked me if he could buy the home, I said yes. In the lease agreement the purchase price was 0k. he was living with me initially because he was goind through a divorce and was broke from the divorce. He had also lost his previous home due to the divorce.

We contacted a mortage broker, forged my signature on a contract for deed, The mortage broker make up false bank statements, false divorce documents and false rental payments. He was approved for the loan as a result of the false documents I did not find out that he forged my signature on a contract for deed ahd stated in the CFD that he had paid me ,000 as a down payment and more than k in rent. I only saw some of the documents at the close and when my check was more than k short I contacted my attorney and contact the tital company explaing that these were not my signatures and I never signed a contact for deed. The title company told me it was between me and the mortage company. My attorney told me that if I pursued it my brother would go to jail. When I confronted my brother the threaten me and told me if I did’nt close on the house and take the check he would hurt me. I was at my wits end, he had rented my home with all my furnuture and had everything I owned and now my home. He claims that he did not know what the mortage broker was doing and just signed what she told him tooo. It’s been 4 years now and I don’t know what to do. he still owes me ,000 in back rent plus ,000 for the diffference on the house. Do I sue the mortage broker or do I sue my brother or do I sue both. Where should I start.
