Sometimes they need to be defended as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial Abuse<\/strong><br \/>\nSomeone may have taken, misused, or gained control of an elder's money or property through theft, forged documents, scams, misuse of a power of attorney, or pressure to change a deed or account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Physical Abuse and Neglect<\/strong><br \/>\nAn elder in a care facility or at home may suffer injuries, unsafe conditions, or a lack of basic care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claims After an Elder Has Died<\/strong><br \/>\nMany claims can still be pursued on behalf of the elder or the estate after death.

California law shifts attorney's fees onto the wrongdoer in these cases and allows double damages for property taken in bad faith. Contingency fee where the case supports it.<\/p>\n<p>When an older person has been financially exploited, neglected, or pressured into changing a will or trust, families often don't know where to turn, and time matters. <span class=\"notranslate\"> Fick Law <\/span> represents victims and their families in these cases, including claims brought after the elder has died.<\/p>\n<p>The concerns can include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Undue Influence<\/strong><br \/>\nA caregiver, family member, or new \"friend\" may have pressured a vulnerable person into changing their estate plan to benefit themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contested Wills and Trusts<\/strong><br \/>\nDocuments may need to be challenged when they appear to be the product of pressure, fraud, or diminished capacity. Sometimes they need to be defended as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial Abuse<\/strong><br \/>\nSomeone may have taken, misused, or gained control of an elder's money or property through theft, forged documents, scams, misuse of a power of attorney, or pressure to change a deed or account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Physical Abuse and Neglect<\/strong><br \/>\nAn elder in a care facility or at home may suffer injuries, unsafe conditions, or a lack of basic care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Claims After an Elder Has Died<\/strong><br \/>\nMany claims can still be pursued on behalf of the elder or the estate after death. Waiting can make evidence harder to find, so it helps to act early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Attorney's Fees and Enhanced Damages<\/strong><br \/>\nCalifornia law can shift attorney's fees onto the wrongdoer in these cases for property taken in bad faith.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paying for the Case<\/strong><br \/>\n<span class=\"notranslate\"> Fick Law <\/span> handles these cases on a contingency fee where the case supports it, so cost does not have to keep a family from acting.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"notranslate\"> Fick Law <\/span> can help you understand your options and protect your loved one's rights.
