Bamberger & Brancato, PSC - Owensboro, KY

Frank Anthony Brancato, is an attorney who also prepared and witnessed her will. Aside from his lack of communication (which took dozens of phone calls, emails and finally a certified letter to even get him to respond when I first inquired about the probate process) and failure to distribute funds, his failure to disclose a survivorship clause in a deed has turned my world upside down. My mother’s will clearly states “I hereby give, devise and bequeath to my son..all of my ownership interests in the home..to be his absolutely and in fee simple.” In spite of this, and instead of following her last wishes, Frank Brancato told me that because he prepared the deed with a survivorship clause, he declared my mothers’ last wishes null. As he was the attorney that prepared both that deed and prepared and witnessed my mothers will, he was aware that he would nullify her last wishes. Frank Brancato was a willing accomplice in my father’s effort to “hi-jack” or “extort” my inheritance by acting as his agent when he told me that my father would “sell” me my own house for the EXACT amount of a Fidelity IRA my mother left me. I am currently in an estoppel lawsuit with my father but looking for an attorney to hold Frank Brancato responsible for the mental anguish that his lack of disclosure has caused. This has caused my life to become an ongoing nightmare. Any advice would be appreciated. Most recently, when I asked him why he did not tell my mother that her wishes would be nullified when he prepared and witnessed her will, He responded with very hostile and condescending response. He claims privileged communications. This man has no conscience or ethics and seems to revel in the what he has done to my life.
