recovery of legal fees caused by a situation not of our doing
A man used his mother’s power of attorney to deed himself our property. 15 acres. He & His atty used a 1940 deed and just signed everything to him.. We are out $500 to have our atty make them correct this. How can we recover our legal fees? We only learned of his actions by accident or we could have had real problems. He is not a very ethical or moral person…only greedy .

Problem with land purchase
Bought 10 acres in 1994, mobile home burned in 1996, told sellers we needed another copy of contract several times by phone and mail, never got one. Sellers were deceased by 1997, taxes stopped getting paid on land, which $10 of our payments were for taxes. Land showed up in newspaper delinquent tax properties about to be turned over to land commissioner for sale. We paid the back taxes, and notified seller’s children. Called again in 1998 for copy of contract, was told lawyer’s had all paperwork and I couldn’t get it. That was the last contact had with them. Paid through the end of 1999 and stopped. Still heard nothing. Went to court house, found property listed as part of 80 acre tract. Called attorney, told they don’t have my contract or any information on us. Highway is coming shortly, have lived here 12 years, have paid taxes since I believe 1996 except for ’02 and ’03 when the attorney for his estate paid them. We have lived here with no contact with the seller’s children since 1998 when I contacted them, even when payments stopped seven years ago they did not contact us. Hired lawyer Dec 05 who hasn’t helped. Cannot afford another attorney, appraiser for highway dept, coming soon and money will go to seller’s.

Property left on private land
My mobile home was awarded to the finance company during a bankruptcy in 2002. I paid on the mobile home until recently, when I told the finance company to come and get their home. They gave me less than 8 hours to remove everything from the house.

My neighbor told me that if I placed an advertisement in the state paper saying that anything left on my property after 30 days would become mine.

Is his true? It has been two weeks and they have yet to come pick up the mobile home. If they do not come within the 30 days, does the mobile home become my property free and clear?

Child’s Right Born After Will Made
I am trying to help my two neices, one of which was born after her parents made their will. Their father passed away in Nov. 2005. I understand that the older daughter was in the will, the younger was born after the will was made. As of yet, a will has not been filed in the Dallas County Clerk’s office.
All land etc. was in both husband and wife’s name. They want to obtain some of their father’s personal belongings but their mother (and her new husband) are not being at all reasonable. What can they do? Neither daughter has the monetary means to hire a lawyer. Is there any group of lawyers that help people in their situation? One daughter has two children and her husband is currently unemployed. The other daughter is a single mom with one child. Both live in mobile homes on their mother’s property. The single mom was supposed to have been given the title to her mobile home but the new husband is fobidding it. These girls really need someone to help them and I am unable to do so financially.
