Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Illinois
My Mother had alzheimers and my brother had her to change her will after being diagnosed. I was completely written out of the will except for giving me one dollar. Do I have a chance of fighting this and going back to the original will which left me one half of everything? He has hidden all of her money and had her to change her real estate to joint tenancy with him as the only joint tenant at her death. He also purchased real estate with her money and did thousands of dollars worth of upgrades, which he is losing right now because he didn't pay the taxes on the property. Can I get an injunction against this to stop the tax sale?

If your mother has Alzheimer's then someone should be her guardian. You need to hire an attorney to have someone appointed as her guardian. Once a guardian is appointed, the acts your brother did regarding your mother's assets can be dealt with by the court.
You need to talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Bring as much specific information as you can, copy of the will(s) if you have it(them), addresses of properties in question, evidence of diagnosis of Alzheimer's etc.
