You need to obtain a copy of the order and take it to an attorney to discuss. Such an arrangement would be unusual, and the court order needs to do a good job describing it for you to have a potential action.

If you haven't been named the administrator/executor of the estate then you have no obligation to the estate. That said, you can probate the estate even if the son won't sign. You just need to get him served with the papers by sheriff or private process server. I'd encourage you... View More

Your insurance company should be the one paying, if this was a theft case. Their job is to make you whole, minus any deductible.
Very few civil litigation lawyers would be wiling to go after the tow people or police, so don't think you will find someone for that job.

As with most criminal charges, the law is written like a large blanket, far too large to allow any misconduct to escape being covered. The word "structure" will be a key part of this case, and how that may be shown to have been part of a building or porch.

Both can be in trouble. Both need SEPARATE attorneys. Why? Because the prosecutor will likely offer one a deal to help the State prosecute the other. Same criminal lawyer cannot represent both.
