My two brothers and I were very very close to our mother,who passed from lung cancer at age 49,in 2007. We watched her wither away and was completely devastated by her condition and grim diagnosis.Her husband talked her out of having a will written up and instead(knowing she had this terminal illness and was receiving treatments and medications that were altering her normal thought process,also the cancer spread to her brain causing mental problems,dificulties/ thinking clearly),had her as his sole beneficiary if he died! Now if that doesn't sound fishy then I don't know what. Anyway, she passed away and about a month later made sure my brothers and I knew we were getting nothing of hers that he promised her we would(my point is not that we wanted these things,but that he promised to carry out her wishes and was trusted by her to do the right thing,and he did the EXACT opposite just in spite of us,because she obviously loved us unconditionally,unlike his sorry a$$) We have witnesses,including her sister and mother of all the things she wished for after her passing.She asked us to have her cremated,so she could be buried with her father who died when she was 3yrs old. To this day, he has spread rumors to all who would listen and lies upon lies about my moms whole family,especially her children, and is holding her ashes "hostage?" He is a sick and twisted man,and has intentionally tried and succeeded at destroying our mental state,made us three children emotionally depressed and hurt beyond belief. It's like he spit on her grave(if she actually had her wishes carried out and was buried. I am sorry for how long this is,but wanted people to know the whole truth of this. I really would like to get him for something,but law is HE of all people is next of kin, ridiculous! They were married for about 8 yrs at the time of her passing. Please tell me if there is some way,something we could hold him accountable for in court,emotional distress?,intentional infliction mental anguish?weather it would be worth the trouble to take him to court or if we have grounds for ANYTHING. Mainly we would just like to BURY HER..finally. We loved her too much to just let this go. We have not had contact with him in over 2yrs,I tried to call him with no strings attached and was hung up on. I am at my wits end, and the depression consumes me at times. Please help,any advice would be greatly appreciated .S. law)?
