Sherman Oaks, California Elder Abuse Litigation Attorneys
There are legal issues that may allow for a purely logical approach — and then there are situations that invoke genuine passion. The various forms of financial elder abuse schemes that are perpetrated upon seniors during their later years are as varied as the grifters who inflict them.
These include:
- Abuse of powers of attorney
- Fraudulent transfer of title to real or personal property
- Insurance and financial scams
Then there is financial elder abuse that is discovered after the death of the elder when it is found that the elder's family has been excluded from the trust or will as a result of the wrongful acts of an interloper who has been named as the elder's beneficiary. This scenario can result from occurrences such as the following:
- Relatives, caregivers, professionals, friends or acquaintances who deceive or coerce a vulnerable elderly person to give them money or future considerations
- Actions that constitute undue influence, fraud or other types of elder financial abuse
Our experience in estate litigation and probate matters, combined with our understanding of California legislation intended to better protect elders from this type of abuse can be valuable resources as we seek results on your behalf.
