How do I find a trustworthy attorney to handle my finances?

I’m socially isolated without contacts, resources and vulnerable. No one in my life wants anything to do with me even to be my beneficiary. Businesses like salons, restaurants, spas, don’t want my business they would rather give me a refund than have me be a returning customer. I don’t even know what to ask the attorney. When no one wants you or anything from you how does one spend money? I was told that a vulnerable adult is one who is financially dependent on someone. In every way except financially, I’m alone and gullible. No one to trust or to trust me. Please help I’ve no one else.

This post smells a little phishy...

I agree with others that we are confused as to why you are in the situation you are in. That being said I believe you would be best off in finding an attorney who specializes with wills and elder care and giving the attorney and or firm POA.

If you have no one to ask about a recommendation then Google ones in your area and mention elder care and read reviews. As an example I have recommended one in the area I used to live in to a friend who is estranged from her children. Another friend who had to go through the application for Medicaid for her husband after a major stroke used this same firm with a positive outcome.

I hope you are able to move forward.

Why do salons and restaurants not want your business.

Rulikemom - It must be so terribly sad to be so unwanted. But why? Please help us understand why no one wants to be your beneficiary or your business. Are you a difficult person to deal with? Do you have some emotional or personality disorder?

You said that you are gullible. The good thing is that you can change that.

Don't go looking for an attorney just yet. You need to know what it is that you want accomplished before you spend good money on attorneys.

Since you are computer literate, I recommend you search the internet for financial topics that you want to learn about so you can become knowledgeable. Read and learn as much as you can. You can also go to your bank to ask for information. My credit union offers online seminars on will, living trust, estate planning, power of attorney, etc. Libraries have books on these topics, too.

As for finding an attorney, one place to start is to look up the Bar Association in your state which has directory for all types of lawyers.

More information is needed so it can be understand what your situation is.   And it would help if you explained why no one wants anything to do with you, including businesses.   These are strong statements; there must be more to them than you've explained.

Folks here can't help unless we know more about the issues which are barely addressed in your opening post. 

What is your age range?  What are your physical limitations?  

I hope you realize that this is a forum for Q&A; no one here can offer to physically help you.
