Q: I am 65 years old. My father is 97 and has millions. Can I sue him for neglect that occurred 62 years ago?
I was 2 years old when I was injured and traumatized by an event that shaped my life. He is a religious man with millions and now that he is in his last years and he continues to deny his responsibility and is punishing me for not following his faith by leaving me out of his will. Can I sue him for my fair share of the family money?
A: A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your ordeal. You could reach out to attorneys to discuss, but keep in mind that law firms that handle injury cases might not consider something like this on a contingency basis. There is also the element of the passage of so much time. You could discuss the will-related issues with attorneys who work with probate/estate matters. One way to put your questions to rest would be to reach out to attorneys to discuss in further detail. Good luck
