This seems to be a matter that you will have to discuss with legal counsel. If your allegations can be proven there are several different violations of both civil and criminal law which may come into play. But the simple answer is, yes, you can bring legal action against someone who you can prove has stolen (criminal) from, or "wasted" (civil) an estate.

You need to call or visit your local district attorney's office to determine what the rules are in your jurisdiction. You should be prepared to calmly discuss the facts and you should bring copies of any evidence you have that will convince that office to act on your complaint. You will also need the correct name and address of the person you wish to file charges against.
