Recososa Law Firm
We received your message inquiry from Lawzana regarding your concern about being denied access and communication with your mother, who is currently residing in a house owned by your family corporation.
We understand how emotionally distressing this situation is, especially since your sister is allegedly restricting access by padlocking the home, limiting communication with your mother and caregivers, and only showing selective videos.
This situation raises legal concerns on both the family and corporate fronts. We can assist you with:
a.) Filing a petition for judicial relief to compel access to your mother, especially if undue influence, emotional abuse, or possible elder neglect is present, under the Family Code and relevant protective statutes.
b.) Taking corporate legal steps if the house is a corporate asset and one stockholder or family member is exclusively and arbitrarily asserting control, which may constitute misappropriation or abuse of corporate property.
c.) Coordinating with barangay or local social services to conduct a welfare check on your mother and intervene if there is suspicion of elder abuse, coercion, or isolation.
We strongly recommend scheduling an immediate legal consultation so we can evaluate the full circumstances and identify the appropriate remedies based on your mother’s health, the corporate structure, and the existing property rights.
