Adult caretakers of elderly people are particularly susceptible to accusations of mistreatment and deceptive behavior. This is especially true where the caretaker has been given responsibility for managing their financial affairs. The accusations of fraud arise when a jealous family member finds out that the elderly person has given money or gifts to the caretaker, without the consent of the other members of the family.
It is important to seek out a San Diego elder abuse defense lawyer who must hire a professional investigator who will interview the elderly person, family members, relatives or friends.
