Legal Question in Elder Law in California
My 76 year old parents were talked into a verbal contract that was witnessed by a notary of the public. The verbal contract stated that property would be gifted to nephew in exchange for stipulations in contract. Four years later the nephew holds deed but has defaulted on verbal contract. He also owes over $9,000.00 in back property taxes. Do they have any legal recourse?

Given your parents age, this "transaction" may be voidable as financial elder abuse. I would need to know more about the specific details of the alleges verbal agreement and how it was notarized (because normally you notarized something that is in writing). You should talk to an attorney and also the District Attorney's office.
