There are a lot of facts about your situation that are missing from your story that are needed to make an informed opinion, therefore, I believe it's not reasonable to expect to receive any actionable advice on BP.Since you also write you're in your 70's, I suggest you look for an attorney, or a recommendation from a federal, state, local agency or private interest group (AARP comes to mind) for an attorney who specializes in elder abuse cases.Good luck.

I recommend finding an investor focused agent out there that has experience with MTRs.
