Can someone sue the inspector general office and that city, if they accuse of something put it in writing and do not charge you?: I was accused of stealing and falsely over billing but they never gave me proof. they just stated it cancel all my contracts. Now she is telling everyone that she caught me in a scheme to over bill federal money. But yet, they never charged me.
Diane’s answer: Hello. Generally, a public official such as an inspector general cannot be sued in his/her official capacity. They have what is called "tort immunity." In theory, one holding a public office can be sued in his/her individual capacity, but that depends upon the circumstances. You should seek legal counsel and benefit from a face to face office consultation. I hope that my comments have been helpful.

So sorry for your loss.
There may be a unique twist here that may or may not apply to you....
Her attorney will have to have an estate opened to determine the entitlement of the heirs and to see the settlement through to conclusion. I do not doubt that they will do this as he wants to insure the payment of their fees. You are certainly one of her heirs but that does not necessarily mean you would be entitled to a share or a particular share. A lot depends on whether the proceeding was a wrongful death proceeding or not, in which case you may be subject to a dependency action. I have been involved in such litigation. In Cook county there is actually a conflict between the probate act statute outcome- which says all of her estate is divided amongst the heirs according to a certain formula - and the wrongful death act - which allocates based on the dependency of each of the relatives. That's because there are circuit court rules that give a judge discretion about whether to follow the probate act or whether to follow the wrongful death act guidelines in making any payouts to the heirs.
You may want to explore this either with your late mother's attorney and your own attorney and determine whether the rules in Lake County are similar to those in Cook County.

Diane’s answer: No, the wife does not have to share with her husband's parents. She is entitled to the entire estate (assuming husband had no children).
