My elderly mother has a large estate. My sister, Lurdes, has been evicted twice from the property and continues to harass us by making false claims to Adult Protective Services, calling Code Enforcement on our mother, and spreading lies about me. She is also demanding copies of the will/living trust, despite not being named in it anymore due to her harassment. Is there anything we can do to stop her from harassing us?

I am being harassed by text messages threatening my safety by someone who thinks I "wronged" him. The relationship began on a pay-for-sex act, but that was a one-time thing. It hasn't occurred again and is becoming very threatening. I have called the police and intend to file a complaint with the prosecutor's office on Monday. Do I stand a chance to pursue this or am I entering the justice system "with dirty hands"? Additionally, how do I file civil charges, and what can I sue for?

I am the beneficiary of my mom's 401k, credit union, and life insurance policy. My brother and I were named Co-executors. I am opening a bank account to pay her debts and disburse the money evenly to my siblings, as per my Mom's wishes. My brother wants to be on the account so we both sign the checks when the money is disbursed. However, he said I can pay the debts without his signature. What is your opinion on this?
