“NTA – get a lawyer,” someone suggested. “If it was you money and they spent it, get a lawyer and get it back.”
Another person wrote: “I’d actually be speaking to a lawyer and finding out how much a forensic accountant would charge to investigate precisely how your inheritance was invested. Because it’s 99% likely (IMHO) that it was invested in your parent’s retirement fund…”
Another comment reads: “If you can, get an attorney and demand an audit. Your parents should at least have to answer for how they lost 90% of your inheritance. They need to be held accountable in some way.”
“NTA Why didn’t he risk his retirement money instead of YOUR inheritance?” another person wondered. “You need to take your parents to court to get the rest of your inheritance. Your dad may have lost the money, but the court will at least make him pay what he has. He didn’t mind losing your money but kept his retirement money safe. No, it’s unlikely the court will let him play you like that.”
