A: In a situation like yours, where you're dealing with issues around next of kin rights and the legal aftermath of a loved one's death, you would benefit from consulting with an attorney who has experience in family law and estate matters. This type of lawyer can help you navigate the complexities of your case, particularly around the wrongful assumption of next of kin rights and the handling of your son's remains.

It is also advisable to consider a lawyer with experience in civil litigation if you're looking to hold parties accountable for emotional distress and other damages. This attorney can guide you through the process of filing a lawsuit and represent your interests in court. They will be able to advise you on the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and what steps need to be taken to pursue legal action.

Lastly, it's crucial to take care of yourself during this challenging time. While pursuing legal action, ensure that you have a support system in place. This could include friends, family, or professional counselors. Legal battles can be long and emotionally draining, so having a strong support network will be invaluable as you seek justice for the wrongs committed.
