Hello. I’m here trying to get some help with my wife’s legal expenses. Unfortunately thanks to the silliness of OTHERS , her legal expenses keep growing . Despite the fact that she’s gotten nowhere . We definitely aren’t desperate first of all, so PLEASE don’t consider contributing unless you can easily afford to do so. My wife, Charlette Rich, lost her dad last year. She was the chosen representative in her dad’s will. My lil Palo , Mn cutie pie unfortunately didn’t get a chance to be her dad’s chosen person. A family relative got the sale of her dad’s house into a checking account they controlled. We attempted to reach out for legal help and that’s when things really spiraled out of control. The initial lawyer inquiry bumped her right into the lawyer who had written her dad’s will. Turns out this lawyer had written a secret contract for deed for her dad’s house and property just days after we had moved away from Minnesota. Also, this same attorney represented the relative who controlled the checking account. We attempted to deal with the lawyer and her relatives, but we sensed the unfairness and went and found our own attorney. Things really got worse after that. They accused me of being an abuser despite being married to my wife for more than three decades. Really ugly negotiations. Made my father-in-law’s lifetime of accumulating things vanish. He suddenly just had nothing of value but trash and junk. So we had a negotiated visit scheduled, but when we showed up, the driveway was blocked. We ended up fleeing for our own safety after they aggressively confronted our family. We were fed up; we got rid of that attorney and went and found a new lawyer. We negotiated an agreement. And then we waited. Waited. And waited. But when it was time for the agreement to be paid, her relative didn’t honor the agreement. Nope. The relative wanted thanked for breaking the agreement. Her and the lawyer disappeared. So our lawyer went and attempted to contact her brother. He had gone into hiding too. Finally, after some legal pressure, we got a response. Her brother showed up to their attorney with a reduced amount from the previous agreement. He had demands. They wanted me to remove my social media posts that I had posted along my wife’s most painful and heartbreaking journey. We immediately said no. They asked that we not speak about this going forward, and we said yes. The relative who had controlled the situation and checkbook asked that our settlement agreement take her name and actions out of it, even though it was her that had caused all of this anyway. We said yes. Then they demanded again that any and all social media posts about my wife’s pain be removed. And we once again said no. And now after being billed over $18,000 thus far, we have cut off negotiations with them and will take this mess to court. We refuse to let them delete truth. My wife’s spent all this money and they have acted so badly. And my wife was the chosen person in his will. A will that was written by the same attorney who helped her relatives make his final wishes null and void. My wife was so frustrated by this attorney that she wanted to write about the unfairness on this lawyer’s Google review. To which the attorney implied that my wife had left her dying dad and that my greed was rubbing off on her. Which is total BS because my wife was the best daughter a man could have had. Plus, her dad was let to leave a nursing home when he was vulnerable to build up cash because he had spent his money to zero. And the house being on a contract for deed wasn’t sufficient without being sold. So out came her dad from the nursing home after all those years. And he didn’t last long. Lots of serious falls. To which the attorney said he was happy and well cared for. Really? Numerous falls. A couple of very serious ones. And that’s happy and well cared for? Everything about these two relatives and this attorney has been total BS. And that’s putting it nicely. So if you’re interested in chipping in to help us with travel, lawyer, and court costs going forward, we would appreciate it. Only if you can easily afford to. We are more than prepared to fund it to its conclusion despite the fact that my wife has been billed so much money and gotten nowhere. Please send her prayers if nothing else. Thank you for your help and support with my wife’s situation with these three dishonorable people. How could Roger’s CHOSEN representative be treated so HORRIBLE and billed so , so MUCH battling AGAINST the attorney who WROTE the Will ? They got away with this and still they are OBSESSED with ERASING my wife’s story ? Doesn’t she have the RIGHT to voice her opinion ? Her OBJECTIONS . We certainly think she DOES . Now we will shift gears and get this to a court of law . Thank you all for your support . We will keep you posted as we head to the next step . We so very much APPRECIATE your prayers and support . Please DON’T chip in unless you can EASILY afford to . Share if you can . My wife represents the HONORABLE part of the Estate of Roger Allen Belange . And she’s been treated anything but HONORABLY from them . Roger said she was HIS chosen representative and I AGREE with him .
