California Senior Citizen Fraud Attorneys
Elder abuse is not always physical or mental. Financial abuse of the elderly is unfortunately very common. Financial abuse is when someone defrauds an elder or dependent adult in any way, or holds money or property in trust and refuses to make the money available to the elder. These cases typically involve significant amounts of money or property. At the Law Offices of Scott Warmuth, we strive to return all money to its rightful owner.
Who Committed the Financial Abuse?
In many cases, it is obvious who committed the financial abuse, simply because the abuse was committed by someone with easy access to the victim's finances. In other cases, an investigation may be necessary to determine who defrauded your loved one. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the person who committed the financial abuse to be friend or family member. These can be very emotional cases. You can count on us to help you through.
Was check fraud committed by an in-home caregiver who took your elderly loved one's checks without authorization? Did a neighbor coerce your loved one to provide him or her with a large monetary gift? Was money taken out of a bank account by the person who has power of attorney over your loved one's finances? All of these are examples of financial fraud.
