Yup I’m witnessing my mother getting robbed for several million and no help at all. The thief is an employee. The law does not protect people. Its crap.
Only if can catch them. This happens quite frequently, no protection for the victim. The criminal is protected. Good luck for anyone trying to fight this, no one is on the victim's side.
No one over here is abused. I do have scammers stealing they are good at hiding crimes. Too many people have my Personal Information and the theft went on until I am broke. I’ve had to depend on my kids because I’m blacklisted from any jobs that pay substantial to attempt to give me nothing after the theft as well as force me back to contract roles that short changed me as well.
My older sibling took it upon herself to convince my elderly mother that she, (my sister) would take care of her and in order to do that she had my mother agree to a will and durable power of attorney. My farther at the time was about stage 3 dementia. He signed all the paperwork not even knowing really what he was signing. They had a living trust before she convinced them to change it over to a will, and add the POA. Suspicion set in immediately, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. My parents estate was about $270k. She moved them into an assisted living facility after liquidating their assets to cash. She then devised a scheme to have my mother……get this…..invest as a part owner of her home. So my sister (and bother in law, the brains behind this crooked scheme) where going to have my mother buy a portion of their house. In so doing, under Texas law, my parents would then be eligible for Medicaid. The plan was to get Medicaid to pay for the assisted living facility, and they would get the $270k of my parents money. Fortunately, I was able to convince my mother to deposit her money in her brokerage account (Fidelity). I told her that she could then either withdraw what she needed each month, if she needed it. Then if the money runs out they would have Medicaid. Not to mention my father was a war veteran and could have received some benefits. This is how I stopped my sister and her husband from stealing my parents money. My parents died a year apart, my mom first, then my dad. Upon my mom’s passing, all the money was still in her Fidelity brokerage account. My sister went to the local Fidelity office with all her POA paperwork to get that FAT check, and she was immediately shut down. Why? ……. Brokerage banks like Fidelity usually always advise their clients to list their beneficiaries, which my mom did. She listed her thee children equally. My sister thought her POA would have taken precedence over that, and she was surprised to find out she had zero power over those funds, other than her inherited portion. It took her 8 months to tell my brother and I about the situation. Even then she came up with the dumbest elaborate lie. This grand finally took place in 2020. I’ve not head from her since. She avoids any attempts of contact with us, which only proves her malicious intent to being with. These are sad stories, all to common. My advice to anyone in a similar situation, if something doesn’t seem right do not ignore it. If you need help determining what might be happening get legal help and advice. It’s better if you can keep a family member from succeeding in this type of deception before they screw up, or take your elderly loved ones money. If you loose family relationships from it you probably never had a real relationship anyway 😕
Deceiving, manipulating and intimidating an elder into doing anything should be a full fledged felony.
Yes it should. This happened to my uncle. The police couldn't do anything because a judge wouldnt grant a search warrant.
My brother did this to our parents, he stole everything
Mine did too
Why isn’t it investigated by the district attorney office ? It’s against the law

My brother in law is currently doing this and I am TRYING to get APS involved
This is great information. Do you have a video or information for the same except for when the elder person has passed and the one child has POA
My father's daughter did not report his death to social security for almost a month . Little does she know I reported it .
