A distressing situation has arisen where a son allegedly took his 71-year-old mother's land papers and emptied her bank accounts while she was staying with him. The mother, who is a cancer patient, discovered this after moving in with the other sibling and the son has refused to return the assets. Advice is sought on how to proceed, considering the mother's ongoing medical treatment costs and the potential difficulty in recovering the stolen money and the irreparable damage to their relationship.
