Re: elderly law
I agree with the other attorneys that you need to consult with an attorney in this matter. I also suggest that you contact your local elder services agency, which can investigate this as a possible protective services case. Since you are in Danvers, you should contact North Shore Elder Services on Sylvan Street in Danvers. Their number is nine seven eight, six - two - four, two - two - four - five. I have to spell out the number because we are not allowed to include phone numbers in our answers.
Please let me know if I can help you in any way. Good luck -

Re: elderly law
Attorney Wood is correct that your legal rights will depend on a number of factors.
For example, it is not clear why you were obligated to pay $2,000/month in the first place if you had given the property to your son.
Just because a lawyer tells you that you must respond within 30 days does not mean you are legally required to do so.
Please feel free to contact my office if you would like to schedule a consultation.
