I'm involved in a legal battle over my Aunt's inheritance. My sister took out an order of protection against me. In it she included my late Aunt's condominium as a protected address. This now vacant apartment is still in probate. I had no where to live at that stage of my life. And my other sister, who is co-owner of the condo, gave me the keys and permission to live there. On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my sister asked me to come over to look at a car and put up her Christmas decorations, as she has cancer and was too weak to do so.
Unbeknownst to me, she had also invited my brother over, who I had tried to have removed as administrator of the Will. This address is also a protected address, but my ill sister had her name taken off the order of protection, so then written in the margins was "only when petitioner is present." I know that this was entered into court.
Subsequently, my brother started an argument and told me that I could no longer stay at my Aunt's condo. He then called the police, who could not find the order of protection and told me to leave.
I then went to my Aunt's house to retrieve my belongings. The order of protection was produced my still-protected sister, who had come rushing home in order to find the order of protection. I was then arrested at my Aunt's place on the charge of violation odf an order of protection. At these two places, my protected sister was not even present when I was there.
The state of Illinois has offered me a deal: a pyschiatric evaluation (I already had several) and 18 months probation. I feel frightened about the 18 months, as my brother is mentally ill and will stop at nothing to get me in jail. I did not go to either address with malice aforethought, just to help my non-protected sister. I am being treated for anxiety/panic disorder, and this many months on probation may possibly do me terrible harm. (My sister lied to get an order of protection against me.) I am on disability, cannot afford a lawyer, and am currently being represented by a public defender. Please help, my family is persecuting, not prosecuting, me over something in my Aunt's will that they do not want me to know.
