Elders and dependent adults are among the most vulnerable members of our society. Safeguarding these individuals (and their rightful heirs) is a primary mission of our firm. California law, including the Welfare & Institutions Code, provides robust protections and remedies with the goal of protecting elders and dependent adults.

California law makes it unlawful to take or obtain real or personal property from an elder or dependent adult through fraud, undue influence or for a “wrongful use.” Wrongful use means the person taking the property knew or should have known that the conduct is likely to be harmful to the elder or dependent adult.

In cases of potential elder abuse, time is a critical factor. If you suspect financial elder abuse, you should act immediately to protect the elder and/or to prevent disbursement of his or her assets. If you wish to consult with our office, please do not hesitate to contact us.
