I am writing as an advocate for a friend- he is a 30 year old male who had a brain injury at the age of 17- he has since lived on his own since the age of 23 maintaining a home and going to the community college- he works as a job coach and I would say that his character is upstanding and he is more than able to live indepentley- he recently found out he has a trust fund from a grandparent- a large trust fund- he was asked by his parents to meet with a lawyer about the money last week being told it was to help him pay off his small home mortgaged at 19,000- as it turned out he was asked to sign a piece of paper which he did not sign and I have read some of it- it basically states that the money will be given to the mother to care for his mental maintenance and he would never have control over the monies- he did not sign it- he has obtained a copy of the will and we have the paper he was asked to sign- the parents are alcoholics and the father self employed in painting- they have not helped this person at all for the past 8 years and it appears obvious they are trying to steal the money- we need a lawyer to defend him in or near Syracuse NY who would only charge a fee if the case is won and on a sliding scale, although the money is such that a lawyer would make a great sum if even paid only say, 30% of the total- any ideas? thank you greatly-
