🆘FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION AGAINST THE ELDERLY💰RESULTS IN APPROXIMATELY $800K JUDGMENT

Good Grief Law fights to protect seniors who have been financially exploited.

Over the past few years, I have filed numerous cases that resulted in judgments or settlements restoring stolen money to my clients.

This week, along with my co-counsel Greg Hewitt, we obtained a judgment order of approximately $800,000 in an action we brought under West Virginia law for financial exploitation of an older adult. And we will keep fighting the fight.

😡SOMEONE HAS MANIPULATED MY INHERITANCE!
It amazes me the efforts people go to to funnel the estate of another into their own pockets either just before or after someone dies.

🔴Sometimes it’s by taking over as power of attorney and adding themselves to accounts or naming themselves as beneficiaries on accounts.

🔴Sometimes it’s by “assisting” in will changes or destroying a will.

🔴Sometimes it’s by submitting falsified probate paperwork.

⚖️There are several different legal actions that can be pursued to reclaim the inheritance intended for you.
📃ESTATE and PROBATE LITIGATION is what we do at Good Grief Law.

❓❓How do you help mom manage her finances when she can no longer manage on her own?

2 ways:
Durable Power of Attorney or Conservatorship

Many people think that just adding their name to mom’s bank account solves the problem. Adding someone to a bank account can actually create problems. 🚫

🪷When clients come to our office for estate planning or other legal needs, it is standing policy that they meet with me personally. I spend approximately an hour with each client, sometimes longer. In that meeting we typically talk about family dynamics, assets in the estate and future planning. But often, clients share stories about their lives. It is a part of the job as an elder law and estate planning attorney that I enjoy the most. Seeing the smiles, and sometimes the tears, while reminiscing is pretty special. It’s definitely a perk of the profession.

This is a very short but poignant article. I can't tell you how many families struggle with this issue. We are huge proponents for aging at home and honoring the wishes of individuals as they age. It is extremely difficult for adult children of aging parents to accept decisions of their parents that they do not agree with, especially if it appears that those wishes could be harmful to their parent. However, as long as a person has cognitive capacity, it is their right to make their own decisions. At Good Grief Law we talk to families about legal concerns and options. We help guide you through these uncertain and often complex situations. If you are struggling with the path forward, contact us at (304)993-6200.

When the roles change, families need more than legal advice—they need a guide.

Watching a parent or loved one age is emotional enough. Then suddenly you're faced with questions you never expected:
❓How will we pay for care?
❓Is it time for assisted living or a nursing home?
❓What benefits are available?
❓How do we find trustworthy caregivers?
❓Who can help us make sense of it all?

Most families have never had to navigate these systems before. There are countless decisions to make, deadlines to meet, and resources that many people don't even know exist. The process can quickly become overwhelming, forcing family members to miss work, spend hours making phone calls, and carry the weight of trying to make the "right" decisions.

At Good Grief Law, we help families navigate the aging journey. From identifying programs that may help pay for care, to planning for the right living arrangements, advocating for benefits, and connecting you with quality resources, we're here to guide you through unfamiliar waters.

Our goal is simple: save you time, reduce stress, help avoid costly mistakes, and provide peace of mind so you can spend less time struggling with the system and more time caring for the person you love.
You don't have to figure it out alone.
📞 If your family is facing these decisions, we're here to help.
