Q: What type of lawyer do I need to prove a relative is abusing an elderly relative in another state?
I have some proof that a relative did abuse an elderly relative before her death and is currently committing fraud with her bank account after her decease. This relative is pretending my dead relative is still alive to collect money. This person is also committing fraud with another living relative's accounts with credit cards and other funds and is doing other things for money for drugs and other items. My relative is in danger. I am not in the same state. What kind of lawyer do I need and should I get a lawyer in my state or in the state the crime was committed?
