Legal Question in Elder Law in California

Elderly Neglect and Abuse

My mother is currently living with my younger sister who seems to have a great deal of undue influence on her. She controls all of my mother's finances and spends her money without my mother's permission. She has also accumulated a lot of debt in my mother's name and without her permission. She has also convince a doctor to prescribe Alzhemer's medication and Anti-depressants, even though her behavior doesn't seem to warrant it. How do I go about removing my mother from my sister's undue influence?

You would need to file a court action for conservatorship of your mother and her assets.

By either taking her from the sister's home voluntarily, or by filing legal action for Conservatorship of her with enough proof to convince a judge of wrongdoing. If the mother and sister are located in So Cal, and you are interested in the court action, contact me to discuss facts, procedures and costs.
