What to do about elder abuse?
Question Details: My mother was adopted by her grandparents. Upon their death her guardianship fell to her aunt who is legally her sister. This individual is in her 80's and has Alzheimer's. She's had it since I was a little kid so for around 20 years give or take. In very recent years a niece of hers has popped up and forced her to give her control of her bank account, drained all her money and had her sign everything over to her. Is there anything that can be done?
Yes, please seek out an elder abuse litigation counsel NOW, and file a report with Adult Protective Services for your mother of this whole sequence of events and embezzlement of your mother's estate, and file a corresponding report with your district Attorney for a criminal action against the embezzler for taking your mother's funds.
