I made an appointment 2 wks ago to speak with a lawyer about guardianship for my mom. i just wanted info. i went to the appt last wk. the lawyer took me in his office and we started to talk about it. his secretary came in and said they are here and left. the lawyer said my mom and her brother were in the waiting area. i panicked. i was shocked. he lives in another state. i didnt know he was in my area. i hate him. i cannot be in the same room w him. i told the lawyer i was leaving. he told me i should stay...took mom and brother to the conf rm. i was sick to my stomach. my moms brother has control of her. he wants her money. he wants my brothers estate. the lawyer/mom/me are dealing w my brothers estate. not my moms brother. he is a mean dispicable person. but i ws not there to see mom and her brother or talk about my brothers estate. i feel the lawyer was out of line. changing my info appt to a estate appt./inviting moms brother & giving him his trust. just WRONG.
Optional Information: State/Country of Question: Indiana Already Tried: nothing. i was totally shocked. didnt know what to do or say. the lawyer gave mom's brother his apprvl to help w my brothers estate. this man, will take what ever he can and leave mom with nothing. he is not to be trusted but the lawyer does. plus.. he violated my confidentiality bc i did not want to talk to him about my brothers estate. i came for info that i never got. should i just forget it and go to a diff lawyer? was it a mistake to spk to the same lawyer abt these topics? what should i do now?

Indiana. what should i do now? this lawyer... put me in a totally unacceptable position of sitting across from the most contemptable person i know. without my knowlege or consent. and changed my info session into a meeting about my brothers estate which this contemptable person has NO business in... without my knowlege or consent. made this person privy to info he has no buisness knowing. put my mom in danger bc this man is a control freak....who will take moms money and leave her penniless. i want to protect her. but the lawyer has taken all that from us by accepting this horrible person into the estate's business. what can i do now? before this man, fleeces the estate and my mother who has dementia?
background- my brother M died in feb 2009. mom and i -his sister are the only relatives. we are his representatives. mom has dementia she was not allowing me to carry on estate business so we close it. mom was sole heir in his will. i made an appt w the estate lawyer to talk to him about mom and guardianship. i never got this info. bc my moms brother S came into town the day before my appt/called this lawyer and was given my appt time to come in w mom...unbeknownst to me. i cannot be in the same room w S. for personal reasons i will not discuss here. plus he is manipulative. mom sent him cks for 200 to 300... from time to time to help him out. 2 wks ago she wrote a $350 ck to him... but i found a couple days later that she overnited him a ck for $10,000.instead. so within 10days...this creep showed up. he is a parasite. and will fleece the estate and mom of her money in no time. i am sure of this. the lawyer placed me in a dangerous position of being in the same room with S.... and has accepted him to ''help'' mom and me w the estate to finish it up....which means to S that he will take all and leave us with nothing. to me, this was totally wrong and unethical of the lawyer to do.
i am beside myself w fear and loathing for this situation. i will not work w S on the estate....but he will take all....and leave mom who is the heir with nothing.
what can i do? i am needing help. i talked to the lawyer told him about S and my past problems but he thinks all will end fine.....and he is totally and completely wrong. how do i get thru to him how dangerous and what a liar S is??? do i go to a diff lawyer myself? can mom and i get a restraining order against S to keep him away from us and the estate? he now has sensitive info bc the lawyer gave it to him... pls tell me what i should do next....
