My world

My father passed away last year, he was a simple minded person all his life, and for that matter people were taking advantage of him. He left me and my sister, a car rental agency.

Now we find out that his assistant owns half of it. It was a shock to all of us, because we didn't see any money being exchanged. We had an idea that the assistant is as they say a charlatan, but we had no idea what he is capable of doing.

My Dad was 93 at the time of his death, and didn’t really share a lot of information with us. Now we can not sell our share and not much time is left for us. Every time someone goes as a buyer, we are not sure what the assistant tells them, but they leave and never look back. My sister and I have no male figure in our lives to help us and go after the assistant.

I live in USA, and she lives in London, so we both are so far away. This is why the assistant is trying to make it hard on us till the time runs out and then he can claim the whole business. Very unfair! We both are in our mid lives and have nobody to ask for help. Every one knows that as a woman in Iran you have no voice. We are desperately asking if anybody can help us. We are willing to pay for the expenses, but help is what we need right now.

If you can help or you know someone in Iran that can help us, an authority figure or a lawyer, please let me know. I know a lot of you that are reading this can relate in one way or another. Dealing with property in Iran as an heir, especially as a female, is so hard. No one listens to us. The assistant promised my Dad to pay my mother the same money that he was taking home when he was alive, but we haven't seen a penny since Dad has been gone. He is so rude to us, because he knows that he can be.

He was a just a driver, that my dad promoted him as an assistant to help him run the business. God only knows what he did to my Father that everything turned out this way. One more thing, things are tight right now for me, and this money could be a big help. I trust the Iranian community, and I know there are a lot of caring people out there, that's why I’m reaching out for help. I just don't know what to do any more.

You are my last try.

Please help us.

God bless you, Mitra
