Yes, absolutely! If you are a surviving child of the deceased you need to go to the court hearing and let the Judge know there are surviving children. If you have proof (i.e. your birth certificate) I would take that. If you don't have you can provide that later.

Most bankruptcy lawyers provide a free consultation. I would start there.
About five weeks ago he started finally coming into their lives coming and seeing them almost every Sunday but has missed them Sundays he wants to keep them Friday night through Sunday but can he take them and not get them back if his name is on the birth certificate

If he is not on the birth certificate (your heading says he is not but your post says he is) he has no legal rights to them without a paternity action.

It sounds like an uncontested divorce that is now contested. You probably need to get a summons issued and get him served unless he has already signed a waiver of the summons. After service of the summons you can file a motion for default if he doesn't respond. You need the services of an... View More

file a Motion to Vacate Guardianship order in the guardianship case and state you were never served notice of the hearing. You should look at the court file as the judges usually do not grant guardianship if there is no service on the necessary parties. The file will tell you if a document was... View More

Yes, he can take him as he is not your child regardless that you have been taking care of him.

No one an give you an opinion on this board without reviewing your case. And even if your attorney "screwed up royally" there is not way to get your credit score to the 700s.

You can't just transfer the land to your name. A probate has to be filed with the Court and the Court awards you the property pursuant to your Dad's will.

You file an objection to the Petition for Guardianship. You should obtain counsel to assist in this matter as you case is not a simple divorce case.
We tried to call and see if they’d settle for a lower amount to keep it out of court they declined and are threatening putting Liens on property and taking wages over $1300
answered on Sep 7, 2021
What is your question? They are not required to settle. Once they have a judgment they can garnish your wages for 25% and put a lien on your property. If you allowed the property to be repossessed years ago you might have a defense but you would need to speak with an attorney. Good luck!!

I don't believe the hospital would allow the brother control unless he had provided the hospital with a POA. They are very strict about POAs.

Usually, someone has to have a judgment to place a lien on your property when there is a dispute over money. In order to obtain a money judgment he would need to file a lawsuit and serve you with it. You would have the right to defend the suit and the Judge would determine if you owe him money or... View More

You stated that your brother "got greedy" and kept everything. Do you have reason to believe that the trust states that you get property? If so, you should contact an attorney to file a petition with the court to review the trust to determine if the property is supposed to go to your... View More
