This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

Re: Restraining Order

A restraining order may not be the best solution, it might be diffiult to get, and would certainly cause emotional issues in the family. You could consider getting a conservatorship on your mother, expensive but effective, or you could convince your mother to give you control of her finances and accounts, so that she couldn't write checks, or even have her put you on the accounts as 'two signatures required' for checks. If your mother is no longer competent to care for herself or finances, then conservatorship is called for.
