Legal Question
Can I sue my step-father for forcing my terminally ill 90 yr. old mother, who has severe emphysema and a heart condition, to take something out of her trust in an amendment that she has had in her trust for me for 25 years, so that he can take it away from me?
When his first wife was dying of lung cancer, he demanded that she take her children out of her will and give everything to him. She was too sick to fight him. His children are still bitter after 30 years.
Can I sue him? My mother does not want to visit her lawyer again to have another amendment created - she is too ill and doesn't have the strength to do it. I think what he is doing is a crime. Am I correct?
I wasn't sure if this would come under the category of Elder Law or Trusts since it seems criminal. Thank you.
