Hi there. There appears to be a ton of responses to my thread since late last night. I went with Quincy's advice and actually called up my parent's attorney. They believe the chances are good of a legal malpractice lawsuit against this attorney and are going to refer us to an attorney. Simply because I asked and people have taken the time to respond to me: 1.) I am not a lawyer nor do I claim in any way to be. For the non lawyers on here, it simply means my parent has given me control over the litigation by making me their agent. 2.) My grandmother WAS declared mentally retarded by two MD's who signed off attesting to the fact that she required the level of care to that extent in order to get her in a memory care unit. The timing was coincidental. My grandmother suffered a fall and was removed from my uncle's care to be hospitalized. While there, they did the MMSE on her after several incidents where she was found to be playing with feces sadly. 3.) For the lawyers on here inquiring about damages, we're honestly not entirely sure. It's very complicated because we're having to pursue the trust amendment in superior court which will take time for discovery to reveal everything my uncle has done. I do know that as a result of this attorney helping my grandmother give my uncle Durable POA over her, he was able to contact them and cash her out of two annuity policies worth just a little over $460k alone of which my parent was an equal beneficiary of if that helps your analysis of this potential case of not. Thank you for your time. I wasn't expecting all these subsequent replies but felt I should give you more details because you took the time to reply back to me.
