Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I suspect elder financial abuse?

Contact an attorney immediately. The sooner you act, the more likely you are to recover assets and stop the abuse.

Can gifts or property transfers be undone?

Yes, if they were made under undue influence, fraud, or if the grantor lacked capacity (was not competent to manage his/her financial affairs). In addition, forged documents can be set aside by the Court.

What if the abuser is a family member?

Unfortunately, that’s often the case. Under some circumstances, the law presumes that the transfer was the product of undue influence. We handle these matters discreetly and with great sensitivity.
