These answers provide general information about California law that was current as of drafting them and are not legal advice. Deadlines in these cases can be short, so please talk with an attorney about your specific situation.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What is elder abuse under California law?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]California&#8217;s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act protects people 65 or older, and dependent adults ages 18 to 64 whose physical or mental limitations make it hard for them to protect themselves. Elder abuse includes financial abuse, physical abuse, neglect, abandonment, and isolation. Abuse can come from anyone: a family member, a caregiver, a care facility, a financial advisor, or a new &#8220;friend.&#8221;[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What counts as financial elder abuse?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]Financial elder abuse happens when someone takes, hides, keeps, or uses an older person&#8217;s money or property for a wrongful purpose, with intent to defraud, or through undue influence. It also includes helping someone else do those things. Common examples include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tt-section-list\">\n<li>Draining bank accounts or running up credit cards<\/li>\n<li>Misusing a power of attorney or a joint account<\/li>\n<li>Pressuring someone to sign a new deed, change a beneficiary, or add a name to an account<\/li>\n<li>Taking out loans or refinancing in the elder&#8217;s name<\/li>\n<li>Keeping money or property that was supposed to be returned or used for the elder&#8217;s care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What is undue influence?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]Undue influence is excessive persuasion that overcomes a person&#8217;s free will and leads to an unfair result. California courts look at four things: how vulnerable the person was, the influencer&#8217;s position of trust or authority, the tactics the influencer used, and how unfair the result was. It does not require threats or force. It often looks like isolating a parent from the rest of the family, controlling their mail or phone, or rushing them to sign documents.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Is undue influence the same as lacking mental capacity?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]No, although they often go together. Lack of capacity means the person did not understand what they were signing. Undue influence means they may have understood, but their free will was overcome by someone else. A will or trust can be challenged on either ground, and on others such as fraud, forgery, or improper signing.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Can I challenge a will or trust that was changed right before my parent died?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]Often, yes. Last-minute changes that favor a caregiver, a new spouse or partner, or one child over the others are a common sign of undue influence. In some situations California law presumes undue influence, for example when a gift goes to the person who drafted the document or to certain caregivers. In those situations, the person receiving the gift must prove it was not the result of undue influence.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How long do I have to act?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]The deadlines are strict, can be short, and depend on the type of claim.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence also gets harder to find over time.
