I am in colorado,My brother has takin large amounts of money from my mom for life long care but might not be able to provide that care.he also put his name on the deed of home that my uncle bought without telling him.He then has lied to me about it.He is using my uncles money and my moms to start business of his own.He also has told me that he wants to make my mom get a devorce from my stepdad, but has to get more money to buy him off. I don't think they want to get a devorce.What are the options?
Optional Information: Country relating to Question: United States State (if USA): Colorado Already Tried: Just been trying to get my mom to call a lawyer, but does not want to hurt his feelings
Options as to what?
Is there a way that I can file a civil claim against him for elder financial abuse or for undue influence. Or is this criminal?
You don't have "standing" to file a civil suit against him, your mother or uncle would have to do that.It does sound like criminal actions are at least possible based on the facts. A lot will depend on what your mother is willing to say and on the exact facts but that is definitely the route that is most likely to result in action being taken.If you would like any additional information or have more questions please don’t hesitate to ask but please do so my clicking on the Reply to Expert tab.We work for Positive Ratings, please click on one of the top three ratings or one of the Smile Faces, as this would be appreciated.
