Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Maine
Wills
Hello,
I�m 58 yrs old, living in WA state. I�ll try to be as concise as possible. My brother took my father to his own atty to make a will. My father was in 4th stage Althezimer (maybe more, need medical papers from Togus, father still alive). I filed a complaint with the Bar � the Bar said Shawn Bell, atty was not in err since he is my brother business atty not his personal atty.
Togus tells me I can not have my father medical papers till he has passed. My brother took everything, the home, and a sizeable bank account $128K. My brother owns New England Vending, Dennis--name removed-- My brother set up a Life Estate in 2004.
I took a lot of abuse from my father, weekly beatings, forced to stay home and care for my brother so I stayed back in the 4th grade, then he kidnapped me from my mother. Lots of violence from him. Partly why I am in therapy now. In 2003 I went back to Maine to be his care giver. At that time my father was charged with animal cruelty. I was not in court, but I�d bet he claimed althezimer.
Mainly I need the medical papers to determine the extent of his Althezimer in 2004, and has statue of limitations come up?

Re: Wills
I take it that your father was a ME resident at the time of his death. If so you need a ME attorney to address these issues.
