  Mother passed away 4 years ago and left no will. Sister is the executor of the estate, but has done nothing.

• Incorrect spacing on implants. Never told they removed one out of three. Gave me a faulty bridge, now I have no teeth!

  Asked in Roanoke, VA | May 12, 2026

  Charged my insurance for crowns that I never received. Charged for teeth cleaning that I never received. Charged for the implant that was taken out. Have had a couple of second opinions to confirm there wasn't enough space. Missing work due to appointments with other dental professionals and having to pay for their services in hopes of this getting fixed. It has caused humiliation because the bridge fell out several times before it fell out, and it was unable to find it. I now have a lisp and look terrible. I'm disfigured looking now and can't eat normal things. Has cost over 22000, and it's still costing me money. And I have to keep my face covered because I was a guinea pig. Can I sue?

• What is involved with obtaining guardianship and what is the average cost? Can someone get free help for this?

  Asked in Williamsburg, VA | March 24, 2026

  I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and I'm trying to help my brother and sister-in-law in Williamsburg, Virginia. My brother has dementia and is no longer able to make decisions. My SIL is bed-bound. She is working with an attorney who is telling her that she needs to name a guardian, that it has to go through the court, and it will cost $7,500. They can't afford this. They have a live-in caregiver whom they want to have guardianship of both of them. Does $7,500 seem reasonable, even if they could afford it? How can they obtain free or at least low-cost assistance? They also need help drafting basic wills.
