This story began when suddenly out of nowhere my older and only brother who I had previously not spent much time socializing or communicating with over time although we lived in the same area suddenly announces that the doctors have told him he has six months to live, as an EMT I went into research mode and interviewed 100 doctors and 100 nurses and read a hundred medical journals as to his specific diagnosis and everyone came up with the same six months to live it’s something called HCC hepocellular carcinoma . my brother had separated from the mother of his two children about four years before -his two daughters had been in contact with him since the separation from the mother and my brother co-owns a house in town with the mother of his children though they were never married . Luckily my brother lived six years, those six years my brother and I became very close and I spent most of my time trying to navigate for him thru the medical system , provide emotional support , and most of all to make the most of all time catch up on on family time which always seem to elude my brother and I we never had time to spend together we’re always going in our own circles living our own lives but now when death is imminent that’s when we want to come together but where were we all the years we weren’t interested .The Paradox of life , never missing the water till the well runs dry , everybody truly believed that my brother did indeed only have six months to live and he was getting lots of radiation treatments lots of medications . Just prior to his diagnosis I had career advancement plans to apply for work as an emergency room technician and then after enough hours in as an emergency room technician one can challenge the boards and become a physician’s assistant a lot of EMTs do this and work at the same hospital as physicians assistants where they started as emergency room technicians . But with my brother having six months to live I decided to make the most of borrowed time and I wanted my brother to get the best possible care that he could , he’s the kind of guy that never would go to the doctor in his life and I am an EMT and I thought he was not familiar with the medical terrain and I wanted to get him access to the best resources on all levels the nightmare of those six years included the fact that his own two adult daughters who are occupational therapists and who are working full time at good paying jobs ; the absolute truth is that they never contacted him the entire six years .they avoided him they didn’t contribute to his care they didn’t call them they didn’t visit . Some psychiatrists called this parental alienation syndrome . I have no words for it but I feel it didn’t help him. I maintained very part time work close to home but finally quit , my brother had lost possession of the house that he jointly owned with the mother of his children .He was staying in friends basements while he was getting radiation treatment. Just ridiculous . To everyone’s surprise just a year before he died he found an attorney & filed a lawsuit & was able to get back possession of his house that last year before he died. When he got back in the house he invited me to stay with him and it was rather a natural development he said if I was his caregiver in exchange for rent , I will be fine . We were already a team. I was driving for him the last year. I basically was my brother’s shadow & a year later he passed away in ICU , one of his long abandoning daughters; one of my sister dragged her by ear. She visited three times for 30 minutes .The other sent him a condescending letter saying that she was not going to see him before he died but that he should not leave the house to other people but them. My brother had left a trust a year before he died leaving my two sisters & I (I’m going to be 64 in a few months my sisters are over 60 ) In that first Trust my brother left my sisters and myself a percentage of his half of the house; after he got that letter from one of his daughters he suddenly Just 4 months before he died wrote up a new trust and left my sisters and myself $30,000 each plus 10% interest a year that we don’t get it but he did not leave us on title. I am still living at his house 3 years after he passed away I have been anticipating these last 3 years that the trustee would make some kind of deal where my sisters and I would get our full inheritance & at that time I would leave but every attorney I spoke to said don’t leave until you get your full share of The Inheritance ; in the meantime I filed some petitions in the Probate Court requesting that the First Trust be reinstated because the second trust was very suspect because it was written right before he passed away & it was under the undue influence of the absent daughters. Those hearings are coming up in late May & so here’s the shocker : In the middle of November the trustee turned around & transferred my brother’s half of the house to the two daughters before my sisters and I were even offered a penny of inheritance and so far the trustees attorney has charged the trust $15,000 but my sisters and I haven’t gotten anything & that transfer of the property goes against the irrevocable trust which says that the daughters only supposed to get 50% of his half nevertheless he transferred 100% of the property & I got served with a 30 day notice a months ago now I have been served a complaint for eviction & just a few weeks ago even even three and a half four weeks ago I was pretty pessimistic thinking that I have to pack up & go without any inheritance settlement or place to live because I didn’t see a way out by a miracle & to make a long story short I contacted this one attorney who asked for a $5,000 retainer. the paralegal was very compassionate & I called her back just 2 weeks or so ago to say I don’t have the $5,000 retainer yet but don’t forget me & paralegal said ” how much you have?” I said half.She said $3k so I gave them $3,000 .I met with the attorney I was extremely impressed with the attorney she’s an older woman with an incredible intellect, highly respected & reputable & she feels that she could get a stay on the eviction case . Last week I went to a hearing & on instructions from the attorney I said that I’m going to be substituting her as my attorney and she’s going to be filing a stay of the eviction. the judge set the hearing for March 20th about 10 days from now ; then the paralegal called back & said the attorney feels that once she starts representing you in court as your attorney of record she won’t be able to withdraw .Then she’s on board so I have to come up with the rest of the agreed to retainer so I just have gathered the last $5,000 that I managed to save over the last few years and then I borrowed some money and I am going to give her a 2nd payment of $3,000 on Monday I’m going to pray that in 10 days she’ll go to court get the eviction stayed. There’s no guarantee & I suddenly went from a $6,000 emergency fund to a few hundred dollars not even that & I’ve got to get some money as quickly as possible. I put in a lot of time & energy in the separate probate cases that are coming up in June and May without an attorney and we’ve been ordered to mediation But I don’t want to get evicted that’s why I put my savings into this attorney if there’s anyone on this website that would take an interest in my case and I would extremely appreciate any donations . I have two sisters who are over 60 now. my hope is to get a decent settlement in the probate court and that’s what’s more at stake here than just not having a place to live or maybe having to live in my car until I can find a place if I lose the eviction case I probably have to move out within a month or so but hopefully I can either get a stay or go to trial . if I have to stay in my car until I can find some place I mean I think I’ll live it wouldn’t be the greatest thing but I’d always intended to have an emergency fund for this exact situation but now I’m up against this Catch 22 if I had not found this reputable attorney & I don’t have time to find any other attorney & most other attorneys I spoke to they wanted $10,000 retainer this woman only wants six & she feels that she could keep me in the house at least 6 months or a year to me it’s worth the gamble because if I retain possession of the property it bodes well for an inheritance settlement from the trust even though it’s two separate cases .This is an eviction brought against me by the daughters who just acquired half the property three months ago and their mother who has always owned the other half of the house and my goal is that I’m trying to get out of this is a full inheritance for me and my sisters not some abusive settlement where they give us $5 or $10,000 & only if we sign waivers & a release . If there’s anyone out there that would be willing to send any donations to me I would really appreciate it I never thought this story would become larger then life , it’s going on many years I was 54 and had big career plans at t 54 I thought well I better hurry up and go work as an emergency room technician and then go become a physician’s assistant or become a respiratory therapist & then at least by the time I’m 57 / 58 I would have some kind of Professional Training more than just ambulance work which I love but it doesn’t pay a lot well .From 54 to 60 I had to take care of my brother I couldn’t be at work all day and then make sure he got his medicine around the clock and stay at the hospital with them 24/7 like I always did so he wouldn’t get put in a nursing home. I had to do one thing right & the whole time I thought it was only 6 months so I figured my poor brother has only got 6 months ; I’ve got the rest of my life. let me spend what time he has left with him and then I’ll move on; well as soon as he passed away Covid shut down the world got shut down , now suddenly the trustee out of nowhere 6 months ago says get out right now get out in 2 months and I said where’s our inheritance settlement ? Then he turns around & he gives the property to the daughters with a grant deed and now the daughters are trying to throw me out after they didn’t visit my brother for 6 years when he was dying of cancer .it’s in the medical records . What they did was wrong and all I’m trying to do is get an honest settlement if they would approach me & my sisters and say okay we’ll give you your $40,000 each or will give you 99% of it or maybe we’ll give you more I would be open to negotiations I mean sure I have a hearing to try to bring back the old trust which would put my sisters and I on as part owners of the property. As of now nobody’s offering us anything ; they just want to throw us a few crumbs & have us sign waivers & disappear into the woodwork I consider this Financial abuse of the elderly not that we’re 80 yet close to 65. I always write long notes . If you or anybody would be willing to help me I would really appreciate it .This is the first time in 3 years that I have no savings I have $3,000 that I’m going to give to the attorney on Monday and I just gave her $3,000 weeks ago and $4,600 that was my last savings & the rest I had borrowed . I’ve never been without an emergency fund even once in the last 3 years when my brother first moved into the house I had $9,000 to my name by the time he passed away I was down to like the last $800 . I think the trustee is withering down all the trust funds. I tried to give my brother half my liver in 2016 at the hospital when he was on the liver transplant list But ultimately they said that my liver was too lopsided .you can give your liver to someone else and it’ll grow back it’s called living donor liver transplant .I have worked in hospitals a long time ago so I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t care . I wanted my brother to live & I would have gladly done it we have the same blood type but they wouldn’t take my liver they said it was lopsided and I was just 2 years from the age cut off. I am grateful that he died peacefully in ICU I had made him a full code up to the just 3 days before he passed away because I wanted him to get the best care but I knew at the end that I had to let go so he could not suffer from CPR or being on a ventilator I had seen too much of that suffering in my life with patients , I had waited till the last minute out of sheer exhaustion when a nurse basically in a nice way got on my case and then I let go and told the doctor no heroic Measures which is what my brother brother wanted anyway he didn’t want any heroic Measures he wrote it in his will that I saw later. he passed away quietly some 3 days later and my doctor said that’s the best thing you did for your brother. This narrative is a little bit long this is this this is a story of my life these last years all I did was plan to spend 6 months taking care of my brother and it’s turned into a story of a decade 6 years with my brother which I’m grateful for that time we had and 3 years of a pandemic . I had always expected that the trustee would do the right thing & provide my sisters and I with our inheritance before I would ever be asked to leave the house. they threw a wrench into that machinery . Tossed the property to the girls who never saw my brother .I have a petition in the probate court to return the property to the trust . That’s four months down the road I can still get evicted . it’s two different lawsuits they’re going to court saying they’re the new owners so get me out. that’s separate from probate it’s a trust but it’s in the probate court it’s not technically being probated. anyone that could help me I would greatly appreciate. I’ve tried to raise money from Friends acquaintances people in the small town that I live in but it’s been next to Impossible. I Appreciate your time in reading this I don’t mean to write a book but this is the Story of My Life I had a teacher who once said “if you if you thought of it yourself it’s not drama.”
