My step-mother owned real estate, personal property, and investments worth millions a few years ago. Now she is distitute.
A real estate salesman befriended her, got a power of attorney, sold her property... and took care of all her accounts... cleaned them out!
We reported this to the county (Public Guardian) as soon as we knew something was going wrong (mid-2003). So far, they have not done much, if anything. The perpetrator still has a real estate license!
My stepmother was instutionalized in 2003 for dementia, and the county is paying all her bills. Apparrently, it is cheaper for them to take care of her, instead of prosecuting the thief!
We can't afford to hire an attorney...
What course of action can we take to get attention on this, to prosecute him, and recover her assets? The County Public Gudardian's office says they are working on the case with the DA and County Counsel.
What's the statute of limitations?
