Legal Question in Elder Law in California
Fraud and Elder Abuse.
I'm a Senior Citizen, and my son, had my power of attorney. My son transferred 2 properties I owned to himself. He forged my signature during the transfer and used the money to buy another property in his name alone and taking the proceeeds in his name alone. He did all this without my knowledge and consent. To avoid severe disruption in my family,I then asked him to transfer the new property to me,which he did. Loan is still in my son's name and he lives in the property. Hee pays the mortgage, which is less than the fair rental value. At a court proceedings, it was agreed that he should move in 30 days (11-30-07), but we both reserved the right to sue. At a latter meeting with my son and his attorney claimed that he had a partnership interest in the property and demanded a payment of $58,000 for moneys he claimed to have spent on the property. Is there some way that I can have a speedy trial a speedy trial and expose this fraud? The favor of a prompt response will be much appreciated.

Re: Fraud and Elder Abuse.
If you mean that there is an ongoing lawsuit against him for fraud, yes, you can and should force it to trial if necessary to get your remedy. You very much need counsel in this, since what has happened so far doesn't appear to be in your best interests. Feel free to contact me if serious about getting the legal help you need.
