By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

If she is not 1 of the 3 people that the house was left to, and she is living there illegally, she is trespassing & should be thrown out.
Don't go after the school or make waves with the kids----the kids didn't do anything & it will only damage them. Deal with the mother. Just remember that even if you do sue her, you can't get blood from a stone. If she has nothing, you're not going to collect any $$$$ from her.
The thing that seems questionable in all of this is getting a very sick man out of bed to do this. On the other hand, I got my very sick husband out of his hospice bed to tour the fall leaves a couple of months before he died, so it is hard to say whether that might have been a nice change of scenery for him or harmfully tiring.
I cannot imagine what on earth you could sue the BOE for. The correction for what you consider their negligence would be to kick the kids out of the district schools (if they don't live in the district). But you say that isn't what you want. What do you want? Did you suffer some damage as a result of their action?
Not every family dispute needs to wind up in court!
If you do ask an attorney about suing the BOE, please come back and share what you find out. We learn from each other.
Hope everything works out for everyone in your family.
Good luck in getting this all cleaned up with your attorney. It sounds like a royal mess.
Pursuing the BOE makes no sense to me. The school was given false information. I don't think anyone ever drives out to verify addresses. The only thing I would see that would come from this is the children would be removed from the school and placed in the district where they live.
Who is the executor of the will? There is usually somewhere around a 6-month probate period. The executor probably would have been able to change the locks to protect the estate until it was settled. I can't figure out why she is suing you except maybe to stop people from entering the house or removing property. Makes no sense to me, but I think a large part of the story is missing here.
I wouldn't bother suing, but I would contact an Elder Law attorney for his/her advice. After doing an investigation, the attorney could have the current signed legal documents declared invalid. Curious, how long ago did this happen? Do you have paperwork from a doctor stating that the grandfather did have dementia?
