A: You need to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. If you can't afford one, contact legal aid organizations in your area. You might also contact the state bar association where you live and ask about pro bono services. Human services didn't get involved for no reason but that doesn't mean they have complied with the law or properly respected the rights of you or your mom. If there is a conservator that has failed to collect your mom's benefit checks, that is a breach of fiduciary duty for which there are remedies. It's impossible to say what should have been done in your mom's situation without asking a lot more questions. Good luck to you.
