I need legal funds

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jordan.

(Update)

I have been informed that my mother is about to pass and is in Hospice, the money raised so far is enough for a flight home, and my father said he will put me up and get me a rental car, I however still need to raise legal fees as I am going to now have to battle in court just to see my mother before she passes, and to also contest the Trust and will.

I need need a lawyer and to be in NH to sue the Trust of my parents for not following NH law.

Just ignoring the situation keeps me awake at night.

The stress of this entire situation caused me to develop stress-induced diabetes type two, which almost killed me in October of 2021 as it was undiagnosed until I ended up in the emergency room and in the ICU for 3 days. According to my doctor, I probably had this since the beginning of 2015.

I've been slandered; I have been threatened, and I have been excluded from my mother's life for now 5 years.

I've asked for help repeatedly from legal aid in NH, but every lawyer they have referred me to has been too busy to take me as a client.

Not to mention Covid making a mess of everything for everyone.

It is also impossible to accomplish anything legally from abroad, I need to be in Vermont/New Hampshire to achieve this.

I will need to raise legal and travel fees.

I have friends to stay with in NH and Vermont.

Outside of my mother and father (my parents are divorced), I have no immediate family.

I can't explain how I feel except emotionally tortured and wronged.

I have lifelong family friends of my Mother and now Deceased Stepfather who can testify to the validity of my character and good nature.

People who have known me since childhood know how cruel my stepfather was; even in death, his cruelty shows; who would exclude an only son of his wife, especially after all I did in the name of his father? (I spent twenty years tracing his father's military career in Europe, even a small town in France and Belgium renamed their town square after him.) And the US Army Made me an Honorary Member of the Regiment in 2015 after more than a decade of hard work uncovering the lost history of the Regiment during WWII.

I need your help. The pain in my guts, let alone my heart, is doing me in.

My mother is being used; the Trust is abusing its power.

She has no idea what's going on.

I have been gaslighted, slandered and threatened; I need legal help.

Being stuck abroad, disabled due to a spine injury since 2005, has not helped my life either.

These people are using lies and slander to steal from my mother and myself.

The tenants living in my mother's house since 2011 have gone through my possessions in my mother's basement; he has taken tools I had saved from my carpentry apprenticeship, not to mention other things like my childhood possessions and the quilts my mother made me as a child and adult.

Not to mention family heirlooms' My Rifle, My WWII artifacts, all things I wanted to save and pass on to my children.

My stepfather lied to my mother; he lied to me; he said they paid rent.

He was not honest about his relationship with the tenant, which when I returned home in 2015 revealed itself to me, which further caused me depression and stress.

My mother said this excuse when we were in New Hampshire in 2015.
Not fully knowing what was being done right under her nose.

"He pays rent; we need the money." He never paid rent after his girlfriend left him, and he then moved into the basement.

There are many situations also involving former tenants that show me that the person(s) now living in my parent's home are manipulators and drove anyone out who interfered with their intentions to fleece my parents.

I have statements from his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend about how violent, manipulative and abusive he is; I suspect he threatened my stepfather to gain as much control as he has.

Not to mention Mom said to me in 2009 after she hit me due to being overmedicated on Lyrica ( Which has been pulled from the market due to it's horrible side effects), "Chris said he doesn't want you here."

Yet my stepfather would say, "Brenda says she doesn't want you here." ???? What???

My stepfather used this excuse not to let Shira and I move in to take care of my Mother after 2009.

The accusation that I hit my mother when she punched me in the face due to dementia and withdrew from a medication called Lyrica, which she had complained to me about nightmares and it making her feel unwell for months and then had flushed down the toilet within the first few days of me being back.

Chris said he would help us move back (2008, after my mother fell off the stoop in the garage and broke her leg and hit her head I suspect causing her Demensia, and again in 2015); he was proud of me ect; for a short moment, it seemed all would be well, and my family could finally heal.

Sadly, he was also diagnosed with terminal cancer on 27 March of that year, literally days after I flew back to Sweden.

I was devastated all I wanted was to be home with my parents and take care of them as any child would.

In 2015, he said he would "Help" us move back so we could do just that.

Then this tenant started acting up; he even pointed a pistol in my face saying, " here, look at this cool gun Chris and I got," trying to scare me.

I should have called the police. I didn't, I tried to bide my time to have time alone with him, hopefully, so I could tell him what I thought, but every time we got to be almost alone, this person would show up and interfere.

My stepfather died of cancer on January 21st, 2018; everything that was promised to me in life by both my mother and stepfather was revoked and taken gone.

The last version of the Trust is invalid.

There aren't two witness signatures, which can be dealt with in court.

Not to mention I was never duly informed about probate or an accounting of the family assets, which according to the law, I am entitled to, not to mention contesting the will.

The Trust did not duly inform me of his death, of the will or of the trust in writing by mail as is required by law; they have not followed transparency laws; they have not allowed me to gather my possessions, nothing.

Yes, I was upset; they were/are my parents, not the adopted as a son tenant, which was never expressed to me, "I think of Jared as a son and not you".

He deliberately shut me out. What did I do to deserve this? Someone, please explain this to me?

In 2009 we were supposed to move in to take care of my mother, who fell in the garage and broke her leg and was then diagnosed with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. (August 2008).

I flew home ASAP (2009) to help prepare the house for Shira and me to move in; then, in anger and confusion, my mom punched me in the face. Everything in my life went to hell in a handbasket.

I am willing to give up the statute of limitations to let the trust charge me with assault so I can prove my innocence.

Ask yourself why, after struggling for five years with a severe spine injury in a foreign country, would I hit my mother. Which is completely out of character for me as it is.

Why would I screw up my only chance at returning home, to begin with?

And Most importantly to take care of my mom, who I love very much, but also to give Shira (My partner of now 16 years) a chance at having a better life, and an opportunity to serve in the US Military as a career which was something she wanted to do very much.

She had already served her country for 8 years in the Home Guard in Sweden as a Panzer Grenadier and Medic)

They are abusing my mother's illness to hurt me and take from my family, and they are not family.

They have no relation to me, my mother, or my dead stepfather.

The trust and the DPOA/POA for my mother have threatened to press criminal trespass charges on me if I attempt to visit my mother or get my possessions.

They will not let me call and speak to my mom, which, now that she is in a nursing home, is illegal.

I signed some legal documents in 2009 under duress after my Mom hit me; I was lied to about what was in the trust by my stepfather.

I have repeatedly asked for a copy of this document that I signed, and they will not respond nor give me a copy of the paper.

I need a lawyer; I have spoken to several, and one, in particular, said that in civil court, nothing my stepfather has done would stand in court as I am my mother's ONLY LIVING BLOOD RELATIVE. I have rights as her only child!

This lawyer's name is Sarah Ambrogi <[email redacted]; she said she would take the case in 2015/16, but because I lacked then the 750$ retainer, now because my stepfather is deceased, it will take more time in court as there are now separate issues that all have to be addressed. So 5000$ retainer was requested, but she couldn't take it pro Bono.

I have no money outside of my meager monthly pension, and I am also in a 12-year, soon 13-year-long legal battle for the injury I sustained in 2005 and still need some paperwork from my new doctor to get the life annuity from the work injury.

We tried for a decade to leave Sweden, with nowhere to stay in the USA and no way to pull it all off with all the Visa wait times and lack of a sponsor, and I have now been stuck in a 12-year-long legal battle here for an injury that has left me unable to work, we are desperate.

All I wanted was to take care of my mom and "pop".

Why should this couple and the DPOA/POA make out like bandits when Shira and I could just as easily take their place and be my mother's caregivers? Now she is in a Nursing home, I desperately want to see my mother; I want to hug her hold her hand and tell her I love her.

They are robbing me of more than just material things; they are robbing me of the chance to spend the last years of my life with my mother and to be there; in the end, this is what hurts me the most.

Chris robbed me of this in his death. I'll never get any closure; I'll never get to share everything I discovered about what his father and his men did in WWII, and for what?

I longed for a father-son relationship; he gave it away to a stranger.

I was promised things; it was all lies, and this couple is making out like bandits. Meanwhile, I am freezing cold in my home, and I can barely afford to eat adequately enough to keep my Diabetes in remission.

We struggle to make ends meet; they get a free ride, I have no way to contest the will, the trust, the DPOA, or even communicate with my mother without your help.

I cannot afford a lawyer, and I honestly cannot live like this; it has made me physically ill.

My mother saved for decades so she could retire to the Dominican Republic.

That was her life's dream.

She also saved for me for when I was married and settled down so I could own my home. ( I own my home but due to the War in Ukraine I very well may lose my home due to the excessive cost of electricity)

I need to raise funds for a lawyer and travel expenses and food, so I can hire the lawyer I talked to in NH, I spoke to several, but this one particular woman seemed on top of her game and very willing to help. She requested a retainer, and I know the Trust will fight me tooth and nail.

But NH state law states that if Trustees do not follow NH state Trust regulations and law, they will be replaced by state-appointed trustees and trustees who fail to follow the States laws will have to pay court fees and legal fees.

I have to do this, or it's going to eat at me for the rest of my life, and if I am ever to progress from where I am now, I have to do something about the situation.
