โ๏ธIf youโve ever listed a home for a senior seller, you may have already been exposed to a financial elder abuse claimโ and not known it.โ๏ธ
My name is Paul Horn and I'm an estate planning attorney and CPA.
๐กIn 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 ๐กThe seller is in her 80s. She seems sharp enough โ chatty, lucid, signs the agreement.
Escrow closes ๐ฐ Six months later, her son hires a lawyer, claims she had dementia and didn't know what she was signing โ and now you're a named defendant in an elder abuse lawsuit โ๏ธ
๐กThis 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 โelder.โ No diagnosis is required. No incapacity is required. The statute applies regardless of how โsharpโ they seem ๐ฑ
If you lose this kind of case, it's double damages plus the other side's attorney fees โ verdicts have hit close to $2M ๐ฐ
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 canโt afford to miss ๐ฏ
๐กIn six modules, I will show you how to spot the red flags, ๐ฉ protect the transaction, and stay out of court โ 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. ๐๐๐
