Legal Question in Elder Law in Massachusetts

Re: Fraud on Elders

I agree with Atty Roth that the proof in these cases is often a problem, particularly if the acts occurred long ago. Depending on the circumstances, you may still want to pursue the matter, in which case you should probably consult with an attorney, providing him or her with all the facts you have. You may also consider filing a report with your local senior services agency, who can investigate possible financial exploitation of elders as a protetive service issue.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way. Good luck.

Re: Fraud on Elders

The statute of limitations for fraud is six years.

I assume someone used a DPOA or POA to access funds they were not entitled to get. Your problems will be in proof and in getting the money back from the person who stole it.
