My sister has been hooked on crack for 10 years. I am raising her son. She is 30 and has never had a job or been responsible for anything in her life. When my mom died a few years ago, her will said that whatever money my sister received from her life insurance should be held in my trust. That money has run out and now my sister is receiving settlement money from the lawsuit over my mom's death. (mesothelioma) This money legally doesn't have to be held in my trust. It could go straight to my sister but she agreed that because of her drug issue, my brother and I could hold on to it for her so she doesn't go blow it. There is about 75 thousand dollars total. Well, a year has passed and my brother and I are fed up being responsible for this money. She is constantly calling asking for more money, even though we agreed on a set budget. Obviously she is going and blowing this money on crack. We don't usually tell her no because legally, it is her money to do with what she wants. But we are so sick of the lies and deceit and the constant calls. And we are scared that drug dealers will show up at our house because she has told them we have all this money for her but won't give it to her.
If this were your sibling, or your adult child, would you just give them the whole 75 thousand and let them go blow it on crack?. Even though you know there is a good likelihood it would cause her to overdose and die? Or would you just keep answering the phone calls and give it to her a little bit at a time so she will be less likely to be able to go on a massive binge that will kill her?
My brother and I are so sick of all of this but at the same time, we don't want to live with the guilt of knowing that she died because we gave her all that money at once.
And she absolutely refuses long term rehab. She went a couple of times to 30 day programs, but she left to smoke crack within a week of getting out.
Is there anyway to get legal control of her money because of her addiction?
Thanks for your help.

"I'M Still Alive". This is one of my favorit lyrics, written and performed by Mr. Eddie Veder, who is From Mission Bay, and is the lead songer of Pearl Jam. My ex-brother-in-law is Matt Cameron.

^That's my ceiling in my room (and around our house). It's been like that since I can remember. I'm 14 years old and I'm not sure how old this house is but definitely older than me and my brother (he's 16). I never really paid attention to those commercials about mesothelioma.. Now I'm freaked out.. Is that asbestos? I've lived hear most my life with my dad and brother..

This case has to do with my dad who is now deceased and the papers do not appear under his name. My brother is the Executor of my father's will and doesn't want to give the information and right now he is nowhere to be found. I will llike to know if there is any way of finding this information this could be in NJ court, already call the court and they can't find it. They are telling me a need a docket number which I don't have or the lawyers do not want to provide. This has to do a with mesothelioma case.
Is there any coding for these cases and where can I find this info. The lawyers for this case are telling me they can't give me any info because I'm not the Executor in the case. Please help. If anyone knows who should I contact that could help. I have no money to hire a lawyer. If this is in the cour'ts public record do I have the right to have them? Are the lawyers for this case telling me the truth?

I need some mesothelioma facts. My brother has past exposure to asbestos from mining and it seems like he has mesothelioma. I need to know what his prospects are and what we can do about legal action

i was cleaning doing some renovation in my basement my brother told me to get out because there asbestos in that room he said that i'm gonna get cancer i was in that room for about 5 hours or more cutting and nailing there was allot of dust and i did not have on a face mask am i going to get cancer please help me thank you?

My brother had difficulty breathing, pain upon taking deep breath, fatigue, weight loss, loss of appetite. Thickening and fluid was found on his right pleura. He discribed the fluid as looking like Budweiser----amber colored and foamy. He also has pleural thickening, all on the right side.I have read the color of the fluid is characteristic of transudate which may indicate congestive heart failure.
The doctor suspects mesothelioma, but the fluid does not appear cloudy( exudate).
