Financial Elder Abuse and How To Protect Yourself
Financial Elder Abuse
Financial elder abuse is happening at unprecedented rates, and it is only getting worse as the years go on. Sadly, it’s often the victim’s family members who perpetrate the financial elder abuse. This can be children, grandchildren, even brothers and sisters. For example, a recent case in San Francisco surrounds a couple financially abused by their daughter. The couple alleges that the daughter convinced the couple to name her as the power of attorney, and then manipulated the couple into transferring $1.5 million of real property to her. When asked, she refused to give it back. If you or a loved one has been the victim of financial elder abuse, please call Evans Law Firm today at (415)441-8669 and we can help.
