βοΈFREE on-demand class that can save your real estate license!
If youβve ever listed a home for a senior seller, you may have already been exposed to a financial elder abuse claimβ and not known it.
My name is Paul Horn and I'm an estate planning attorney and CPA.
π‘In my new one-hour class, I'm providing real estate agents with a roadmap on how to navigate a hidden, costly liability most CA agents never see coming until it's too late.
Imagine you're at a listing appointment π‘The seller is in her 80s. She seems sharp enough β chatty, lucid, signs the agreement.
Escrow closes π°
Six months later, her son hires a lawyer, claims she had dementia and didn't know what she was signing β and now you're a named defendant in an elder abuse lawsuit βοΈ
π‘This isn't a rare scenario. California is "ground zero": 1 in 10 seniors 65+ has dementia or Alzheimer's, and agents work with senior sellers constantly.
Age 65 alone makes your client an βelder.β No diagnosis is required. No incapacity is required. The statute applies regardless of how βsharpβ they seem π±
If you lose this kind of case, it's double damages plus the other side's attorney fees β verdicts have hit close to $2M π°
Beyond the money, you can lose the commission and your license.
I've spent 18+ years teaching California's real estate community on probate and trust. This one is a risk management class you canβt afford to miss π―
π‘In six modules, I will show you how to spot the red flags, π© protect the transaction, and stay out of court β before a sale ever turns into a lawsuit.
There's almost nothing else like this training available to CA agents.
It's a recorded webinar available on-demand. Pause, rewind, rewatch, anytime, anywhere. πππ
