Dear fmichael and the list,
Chemar gave me your name michael and told me to try this forum for help. I have been caught between a family trust and the Government social agencies. My family is abusing me emotionally, and has been for the past nine years, there is no communication because I want to move from my home. the Gov. does not give me enough to live where I do. I am dissabled and I will at some point be forced out of my home, as I cannot pay my taxes or the expenses of living here in this tiny beach house on the west coast. My family will inherrit this home and will not sign off on the trust so I can move. Not only will they not sign off, I am permitted no communication with my daughter, or my grandson, now two years old. My son in law decided I am a bad person because I moved my best friend in with me to help with my dissabilites and to live here with the chores and all. Two girls are sinful and he stated I am not allowed to see my grandchild. I have cried a river and have sought legal help this past week. Gulf coast legal services said I was four months too young to qualify for help at that pro-Bono agency. I am now at a loss on where to go for help again. I hav e been trying to seek legal help now for years, and I can find noone to listen to my story or my case and help. I ran out of money in dec. of 09 and am now on public assistance. Nobody yet will hear me and I am in a state of depression. I am being abused and I need help to get out of the situation I am in. I have begged my family to let me move for 9 years, as my insurance was cancelled. I now live on a beach with no insurance becasue I became disabled and lost my job and my income, and my ability to keep this place. If I just leave the house, my two adult children and one very bad son-in-law, will own my home. this is my home only while I live in it. At the time the trust was made, my son-in law was hovering as a boyfriend and asking about my mothers trust. My family never stopped asking me for money. when I had to stop because I was failing, my son in law told me I was not wanted in their lives and I would not be welcome there. This home of theirs by the way was givien to them in the form of a large sum of money due from the trust to them. I am not allowed in the home my mother purchased for them. My son inherrited a home also. So did I. My mother thought that if I got in trouble that my loving family would do the right thing by me. My mother was wrong and money made all of them greedy. this is what this is about. It is OK that I wind up homeless to them as long as they get my home. Being broke and destitute is OK with them, and they could care less that I am in physical and emotional pain. I wanted to move to where I could have cheap insurance and shelter in place during a storm. All homes in my state over 50 years old were cancelled. I am a sitting duck on a barrier island with the storms. I don't want to live like this. I have been abandoned by my family over a trust. I need to break the trust in order to move. I need help. I am desperate, and ever so sad over it. Can anyone here help me to move forward in some kind of direction so I can have hope again.?Can I tell the world through the PC? Do I go to a Senator? Do I call more agencies that say no, what do I do? please help with advise. ginnie

Ginnie,

You need to put this post as a new thread rather than adding to someone's thread. Go back to the first page and select new thread. You can copy and paste your info. good luck.

Dear Ginnie -

Okay. Please be advised that I am no longer a practicing attorney, but I will try and refer you to a group that may help. But first, I didn't quite understand when you said:

Gulf coast legal services said I was four months too young to qualify for help at that pro-Bono agency.

So just for starters, a few questions:

How old are you? (If it turns out that you are 64 and 2/3's then it's my guess that the agency that turned you down was considering a theory under what's called Elder Abuse.)

In what state do you live?

In what state do your daughter and son-in-law live?

In which state was the trust established?

Finally, you say you are on public assistance, have you ever applied for SSDI? (And if so, what happened?)

I can't make any promises, but I'll do what I can. Please get back to me with the requested information.

Mike

I have copied Ginnie's request and Mike's reply to a new thread here so that this topic can focus on what Hannah posted and Ginnie can also hopefully get more responses when others see her topic
