The family of the elderly man I cared for falsely accused him of child molestation and he was convicted at age 90. We went for help with removing these woman from his home and his affairs. Nobody would help us and they filed false charges on me for elder abuse and fraud. I have contacted the police, senior legal d.a. the courts and A.P.S in the past and they investigated me and turned my life inside out. They now know the truth but will not answer my phone calls or otherwise help me now thqt he has passed away and left me his estate. These people have teamed up with my ex boyfriend and my neighbor to take the house I inherited. They have friends in the system that have helped them in the past. They recently acquired letters of special administration to sell my house.

"special administration" never heard of this other than if there is not an Executor mentioned in the Will or there is no Will, Probate can assign someone as an Administrator. As such the Administrator's responsibilities are the same as the Executors. Beneficiaries have to be notified that the estate is in Probate. Debts have to be paid. An accounting done. But the State steps in if there is no Will. They determine how the estate is divided. In my state the wife gets the biggest % with children splitting up the rest. No wife, then children, no children or grands then it goes to sibling then parents.

Anyone can contest a Will. It can hold up Probate for months or years.

The only way you can fight is with a lawyer. And I would do it soon to stop the sale of the house until the Will is found viable.

You definitely need a lawyer. If this guy made a legal will (with a lawyer) making you his heir, then everyone else can go pound sand. Please get a lawyer first and don't be intimidated by these people. What is a letter of "special administration"? Is this a court order? If it's not then don't let it scare you. Show it to a lawyer.

The OP needs advice from a lawyer who is well versed in state law and knows all the facts of the situation. The family may have a valid case here and may they not. But the fact is, it’s highly suspicious when an elderly person cuts out their entire family and leaves everything to the caregiver. We should refrain from the telling the OP the family can pound sound.

I am so sorry to tell you that I cannot see who can possibly help you BUT an attorney. This sounds very entangled and none here on forum would be able to comb it out. Wishing you the best and so sorry for your trouble.
