elder felony abuse
My friend lives in Southern California and had an older relative that sold their house, they gave him the proceeds from the sale, so not to have their medicare wasn't cutoff for having to much money. My friend promised them he'd take care of them the rest of their life, which he is. My friend let them live next door to him in his other house rent free. Did all their errands, took them to the doctor and so forth and cared for all their needs. Then one day, after a visit from another relative, his aunt has decided my friend stole all their money (the her husband died before she moved). The other relatives (3 of them, all drunks and money hungry people) got her to sign a feloney abuse warrant for stealing her money. My friend didn't have a contract stating where the money went from the sale of the house. His Aunt gave it to him as a gift since he had always taken care of them for many years. He invested some of the money in the house they live in for repairs. What kind of a defense does my friend have now. The aunts sister's kids (his Uncle was his dad's brother) are the ones getting all this stirred up. My friend now doesn't know what to do. He told the relatives if they didn't like the way he was taking care of them, she could go live with them. This started around September, they've been back twice since then, once to get her to sign the paper. They didn't come over for Thanksgiving either. Now the police are involved and claim they have to let the courts decide, but have decided to file the felony charge because of the complaint and my friend has spent some of the money. Now there are hard feelings on both sides, the aunt now will probably end up living in a rest home since she has emphazema and her sisters kids get drunk all the time and smoke heavily. Her Dr. said she can't live alone w/o constant care. He saved her life twice in the last two years by getting her to the hospital. He works as stock broker and his securities license will be suspended while this felony charge is pending and will lose it if he's found guilty. Needs help real bad.
