I had a percentage of some money that was left to me in a will ripped off from me by a family member :cry: , as I see it :x .
I'll go into detail about it , if you care to hear about it , in some Es I'll send you if you send me an E-mail message at my home E-dress , I think my sign-up allows for that .
Believe me , I could use the money...Which could come up to as much as $60,000.000 over a lifetime , maybe even more !
Basically , I was supposed to receive a percentage of some money that my mother received from her father as long as I lived , and , as of now , a relative in another state has taken the money away , been two-faced , refused requests for showing me the legal documents , and , even did not tell me when a relative ( who took care of the money when she was still alive ) died , that allowing my relatives in that state to , I'm sure , think that I didn't write after ( the relative ) died because I did'nt care , when , in fact , it was that she did not inform me , when I trusted her to , that was why I did not write ! !! !! !! !! :( :cry:
Again , I'll send you a version of the story via E-mail if you contact me and ask you to , it's a little long to post here right now .
If there's a problem in doing that please post .

That can be a problem for Aspies because of the fear of contacting a stranger. Still, in this case, it is very important to get the advice because of what is at stake.

...Likewise , you , too , but I assume you mean " relative " by " parent " ( Tho I don't feel like fully re-reading my first post to see if , maybe , I phrased it in such a way as to suggest my mother or father did anything bad there - they didn't , the whole thing only started after both of them were go0ne . ) ,
If there's a problem in doing that please post .

I agree you should get some legal advice. Talking about it pubically probably won't help your case.

Legacy wrangles is one aspect of human nature that really stinks.

...Also , as I , at least , hinted at by saying " state " , I am in California , my mother's family were from Texas...and the will of my mother , which might be involved here , would be in New York ! !! !! !! !! !!
I don't have money to walk into a lawyer's office , and , free legal people I've contacted have said " contact Texas " and , when I have , they have said " since you are not in the Lone Star State now..."
I don't mention any of the other people by name in my story , which really needs to be seen .
Again , I can't just go into a lawyer's office , I'm EXTREMELY poor ! !! !! !! !! !!

If you can't afford a lawyer, maybe you could get one to work on a contingency fee, pro bono, or maybe you could qualify for legal aid. Legal aid often focuses on people with immediate dangers to their well being, like eviction, but I had an issue concerning VA benefits to my father and found a sympathetic legal aid lawyer.

Research various options and lawyers to find the right one. People think they can away with taking advantage of someone with a "label" on them. You might find it worth while to stand up to this.

Some lawyers are nice enough to give you advice and not charge you for it.

Some will also take your case and they get certain percentage of the money you get. They only do this if there will be money involved and if they think they can win the case.

if i9t is your parent that dones this IMO the worst things you can do is
1) get the legal advice reuired to get whats rightfully yours
2) disown the parent afterwards
