Since my dad’s passing, I’ve been trying to sort out his estate and accounts with the bank. A family member works there, and I’ve faced numerous issues, including being denied mortgage assumption and account information. The bank has stopped communicating with me, and I’ve escalated the matter to management with no resolution. I’ve lost money, my job, my home, and even my vehicles. I can’t find an attorney willing to take my case due to conflicts of interest in the area. Any advice?
You need to find an attorney, even if it means looking outside your immediate area. Consider contacting lawyers in bordering states, but ensure they’re licensed in Louisiana.
Have you tried legal aid organizations? They might offer assistance or refer you to someone who can help.
Consider reaching out to advocacy groups that specialize in estate issues or consumer rights. They may provide resources or referrals.
Document everything carefully. This will be crucial for any attorney you find or if you need to escalate the situation legally.
You might also want to file a formal complaint with the banking commission or regulatory body in Louisiana. They may be able to investigate your claims.
Networking can help. Try reaching out to local bar associations—they might have resources for finding attorneys who can take your case.
