Trusted Family Member Steals Widows Life Savings!
Donation protected
My Father had a stroke that left him paralyzed and in an assisted living facility. He had Alzheimer's Disease and his cause of death was advanced stages of Dementia.
Just a few months before he died my cousin and two other women, one was a neighbor determined to get his house. The other woman was her friend, an Attorney specializing in Elder Abuse. The three of them secretly created a Trust for my father naming my cousin as a beneficiary.
My Mother was in the hospital at that time with a blood infection. They wanted to amputate her foot. I assured her everything was okay. By the time we found out the house was being sold and my parents life savings was gone.
I feel so guilty having put my mother through this. I suggested we get an Attorney. We had a Jury Trial scheduled for this month. I was sure we would win. It is not okay to secretly meet with a dying man, hold a pen in his paralyzed hand and force a signature! Five days before the Trial her Attorney said we are fighting a battle we can not win. It would drag on for years, cost more than we had and we would never recover.
This is a crime that should be punishable by jail and it's not. So anyone can walk into these facilities, visit with these vulnerable, elderly patients a few times and gain control of their assets with no consequences whatsoever? It happened to us.
I couldn't get justice for my Mother. She saved her whole life and now she can't afford her basic needs. Meanwhile..
My cousin sells her big house in Anaheim Hills for a bigger one with a pool and waterfalls she purchased the very same month she had that Trust signed.
What can be done to expose this attorney? What if this is all she does? I am afraid to report her or even leave a negative review on her website because of the threatening letter she sent me when I started questioning her interest in my father.
I found out about the GoFundMe Fundraising Website. This would be perfect for my Mother. If I could raise enough to cover her basic needs that would be wonderful. If I did make her whole then that would feel like we did win!
The success of these campaigns depend on people to see it.
Now I am defeated again. I have no Social Media, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram. I don't even know what a hashtag is.
GoFundMe suggests reaching out to the community and ask that you share my story on your Social Media Network. I think you will find it interesting. It is another way the elderly are scammed and it might make a difference.
