Medical Records

i believe my personal medical record was mailed to my old address where my personal medical records were in the letter. during a custody preliminary. The oppositions lawyer divulged that they were in possession of such record and divulged to the court material pertaining to the medical records. Can one persue action under the hipaa laws as well federal theft of mail actions against the attorney and the client?

I am in a quandary, I have filed a compliant in Orange County, Ca over the administering of my parents trust,by my brothers who were co-trustees. I have not received an accounting on the trust nor my potion of the real property I was to be beneficiary through a quitclaim deed as tenets in common with my brother. We are currently trying do a petition to partition and an accounting through a legal action. What I want to see is my mom's medical records, she been gone since Sept. of 2008. My brother is on the death certificate so the hospital will not release the records to me. My brother is belatedly claiming he provided my Mom with 500,000 dollars of care while he was living on her property (they were not living in the same house I have no doubt he did watch over her, but it is an assumption it was that much money. How can I get access to her medical records? I do not want to push forward with the suit without knowing all the conditions. I have been to mediation in Orange Co. The Mediator ended it, because of my brothers lack of will to resolve it by settling it reasonably. My wife and I are a humble people and have already paid out aprox. 6,000 dollars in cost. I thought trusts were suppose to be fairly clear on what happens I hope you can advise me. Thank You
