After looking after my elderly Aunt who has Alzhiemers, her Grand children have accused me (not face to face, but in a note) of stealing from her I have My Aunts Bank statements for the past six years with no indication of theft or mismanagement of her money. Do I have grounds for suing?

It is very difficult to PREVAIL In a character-defamation suit. You have to prove that you were damaged in some way - for instance, your friends dumped you or you lost your job. Then you have to prove falsity. Most of the time it's more trouble than it's worth to bring legal action.

If you sue them for defomation of charachter.
You must prove that your public reputation has been irreversably damaged to the point that you would be unable to get a job or to be bonded for a job.
This sounds like something that will stay within the family and you therefore have not been slandered in public or in the press.

in case you opt to sue him for defamation (no longer deformation), you will ought to instruct some damages that resulted from the defamation. are you able to try this? Frankly, defamation circumstances get very grimy and time ingesting. in case you sue and flow to trial, be arranged for each skeleton on your closet again out. are you able to instruct damages? are you able to instruct the damages resulted from the defamation? Is it very well worth suing him? Can he counterclaim based on your lies?

That would be a paternity suit as you inquired about "deformation". Was it defamation you want to know about?

first of all it is called defamation of character...... libel slander....... and it will only work if you can prove that their statements against you have caused you some sort of monetary damage
