He husband passed Oct 16, 2021 Now he's gone, I'm the bad one because I won't send 20,000 dollars immediately after his passing
A: If you are being charged with a crime by the police or prosecuting authorities of the state, hire a criminal defense lawyer. If some family member or other person is just accusing you of elder abuse but is not an authorized representative of the State or local government having authority over elderly or disabled persons, then mere allegations of that nature may be defamatory to you, but are meaningless otherwise. Your post leaves much information and details unstated. It is impossible to evaluate what, if anything, you need to do to address whatever it is that is going on.
