Adult caretakers of elderly people are particularly vulnerable to accusations that they have exploited and defrauded the elderly people they care for.

This is especially true where the caretaker has been given responsibility for managing the day-to-day financial affairs of the elderly person. Usually, accusations of fraud arise when a jealous family member discovers that the elderly person has made loans or gifts to his or her caretaker that have not been approved by other members of the family.

The San Diego Police Department and the District Attorneys office have received special funding grants from special interest groups to actively identify and aggressively prosecute cases of elderly abuse.

Very often, such cases are built on flimsy evidence consisting of unclear financial records, accusations of jealous family members and relatives and highly suggestive interviews of enfeebled elderly victims.

Your lawyer must hire a professional investigator to interview the elderly person under conditions which are not intimidating, as well as the family members, relatives or friends who accuse you of defrauding your elderly client.

Oftentimes, a professional economist is also hired to review the questioned transactions and interview the elderly person and you regarding the details of any questionable transaction.
