... testcase, I agree that Mavis should be talking to an attorney that specializes in this type of case. Unfortunately, she has it in her head that it would precipitate some terrible action on the part of her daughter. The daughter's husband has a large successful business, so Mavis feels that they would crush her attempts to bring an attorney into the situation.
She won't listen to my suggestion.

What was the suggestion, to sue the daughter for some reason? If not, how/why would the daughter "crush" her?
The only suggestion I recall anyone making was for Mavis to tell the daughter to simply take a hike and let Mavis do whatever Mavis wants to do.
Mavis is terrified. Unfortunately, terrified people don't respond well to reason.
Mavis can consult a lawyer without telling her daughter, and following the lawyer's advice would not necessarily involve a lawsuit. But Mavis is too terrified to wrap her head around these nuances.
