In July 2009, as my mother was dying, with her bones breaking with each step from extensive bone and many other cancers, my half-sister had my cousin drag her to her attorney to have her change her newly signed will, from co-executor with me, to sole executor. I was left in as the alternate executor.

Mom had insisted I sign as POA on the day she received her diagnosis, yet 10 days later, under duress from my 3 half-sisters, Mom did as they demanded and changed it to my sister. Mom was taking oxy for pain at the time.

My mother admitted to her attorney on the day that she was making the change that it was because of the pressure exerted on her by those women. She told her she needed to be at peace and they would not allow it unless she changed executor status.

The attorney admitted this to me in person. She never told me there was action I could take. She never mentioned that what she did was wrong and unethical.


I was so devastated by the actions of my half-sisters over the course of the 6.5 weeks my mother was dying, including denying me access to Mom, that I sank into a horrible depression and could barely function again until recently. I am still not functioning well, but am trying very hard to keep it together and take care of what needs to be done to survive this until estate is settled.

There was over $100,000 in the safe, in envelopes with names written on them for each kid and g/grand-kid. It all disappeared before Mom was dead under the guise that I would steal it. Two months later sister bought a new house for $300,000 with no mortgage that I can find and denies money ever existed. Did I mention sister was enraged when she found out Mom made it so she would not be paid as executor? I knew it before I agreed to be co-executor.

Sister is withholding any distribution of the estate until she has to finally do it by law. She is trying to make me finish paying off my loan from Mom for the house "friends" destroyed. She is doing this knowing I am disabled (unhealed broken ankle bones 10 years and severe bi-polar disorder) and poor and how rough things are for me with no medical insurance. I am about to lose the houses I bought with the insurance money to rent to poor families I knew to try and help them and generate a very modest income.

She tells everyone that I stole from Mom, that I am not really disabled and am a fake, that I am cheating the government?, and other bullshit projection so typical in repuke faux news zombies.

I have even tried to get an inheritance loan advance and been turned down because there is so much cash in the estate that has not been disbursed and the estate attorney would not cooperate. I paid all of my bills off last year and now cannot get any credit for a loan because of it. I am a good risk just felt no need to keep paying ridiculous interest.

The house I was living in at the time, I rented to desperate "friends", and now it is trashed from the urine of over 20 cats. I found a young couple willing to buy it, at a huge loss to me, on land contract and deal with the cat urine issue.

My income is only $357 from the house that is still rented and I cannot afford to live, much less pay taxes, insurance, etc. for these houses without my inheritance.

Can anyone here please, please, tell me where I can go to find any kind of help? I am in very dire straits and will become homeless for the third time in my life within a few months, sleeping on friend's couches or in my car again at age 53.

Please mods, this is not a request for legal advice. I simply need to know where, or even if, I can find help. Thanks!
