Remember, there is a difference between financial privacy and financial disclosure. Respecting a parent’s financial privacy is important, and respecting an adult child’s need for financial disclosure to prepare for financial eventualities is also important.

Consultation with a attorney can create space for a transparent and productive discussion on these matters.

New blog post is hot off the press! Read “Predatory Marriage as a Form of Elder Abuse.”

“A predatory marriage occurs when a person, often a caregiver, marries an incapacitated or vulnerable elderly individual to gain access to their assets. In New York, his exploitation occurs because there is a loophole in the law. EPTL 5-1.1-A grants a surviving spouse a right to an “elective share” ($50,000 or ⅓ of the net estate of the deceased spouse). This is true whether the victim of the predatory marriage has a Last Will and Testament or not.” Full text at: https://richardsesq.wordpress.com/2026/05/21/predatory-marriage-as-a-form-of-elder-abuse/
