I am being threatened with a 24-hour demand letter for a refund of monies owed for prepayment of goods not shipped, totaling $22,500, with a partial payment of $5,000 already made. The letter threatens criminal action if I don't pay. What is the legal timeline for a demand letter, is 24 hours reasonable, and can I take action for extortion?

My father is changing his revocable trust to an irrevocable trust for health and Medicaid reasons. He wants me to be the trustee and a beneficiary, with my brother as the backup trustee and my son as the alternate beneficiary. I am confused about how to structure this trust to ensure my father's wishes are met, protect my inheritance from my husband, and manage my son's future financial access. Additionally, I am concerned about the legal advice regarding the need for a new trust versus amending the existing one and the implications for Medicaid eligibility.
