The lawyer's obligation is to your father. This may be a situation where a trusted family member or clergy person could help.

We are both listed on the lease and she refuses to pay her part of the rent. Is her payee not responsible for seeing that her rent gets paid due to the fact it is a legal and binding contract?

They did not charge her anything and picked her up everyay. However, once she was on her own, we, her parents, have to provide transportation since no buses run in our area. She has had her job 3 years. get online and fnd someone to guide you. you can earn your own money. she keeps all her checks from her job and can earn $1000 per month gross. call ssi and check for yourself. in PA, it's called RIGHT TO WORK, and it doesn't affect her check. good luck! @jessie:

His mom was his representative payee and she paid his medical bills and was counting on his back pay to be able to pay off the loans from those bills. Since it was already owed to him shouldn't we still get it even though he has passed away?
