A:
You need an attorney experienced in handling fiduciary and veterans' affairs. Specifically, someone familiar with cases involving the Veterans Administration (VA) can help you understand your rights and the fiduciary process. They can also assist you in regaining control of your benefits if necessary.
If you're having trouble contacting your fiduciary, an attorney can help investigate the situation. They can also guide you through the steps to challenge or replace a fiduciary if they are not managing your funds properly.
It’s important to reach out as soon as possible, as an attorney will help ensure your benefits are being managed appropriately and that your rights are protected. Keep any documentation you have regarding the fiduciary arrangement, as this will be helpful in your case.
