These cases are also about attorneys extending these cases in order to enrich themselves, not acting properly and doing the bidding of Steven A. Fuller.

Had Atty. Sandra Jones Anderson and Atty. Daniel Kristof Lak did their jobs and placed Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller on the witness stand or had he been deposed the initial case i.e. the issue at hand, "What Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller wanted for his [alleged] children and his estate," the case would have been over in 2008.

But, instead the Trust and the Trust beneficiaries have lost the Trust assets estimated at $900,000.00 to attorneys & others.

Randall & Associates [Atty. Teddie J. Randall] appears to have attached his name to the appeal case in order to bill for services. He vehemently let it be known that he was not an appeal attorney and that he would not be representing Ms. Arnold but, instead left his name attached to Ms Ritchey.




Atty. Sandra Jones Anderson has attached her attorney fees to the Trust when the Trust litigation had nothing to do with her what so ever.



Each and every attorney involved in the various court cases, save Atty. Sybil Burrell, should have each and every of their actions scrutinized by those charged with protecting our elders from elder abuse financial elder abuse and as a template as to the what to look for when attorneys inflate their legal fees for self enrichment and to realize a pecuniary advantage over their clients.

Re: BP122665 THELSEY L. FULLER TRUST DATED JULY 23, 2008

First off, had Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller been placed on the witness stand these cases would have been over a very long time ago and all of the attorneys involved would have collected a whole lot less in attorney fees.

There is no deposition or testimony by Thelsey L. Fuller.  

He was not deposed and he was not called to the witness stand.

He wasn't even allowed to be present during mediation.

Steven A. Fuller and Sandra Jones Anderson had 15 months to place the man whom they were suing on the witness stand which they failed to perform.

It is alleged that Atty. Anderson and Atty. Lak drug the case out in order to inflate their attorney fees.

Continuance, continuance, continuance, after continuance ruled the day.




LIES! Perjury of Steven A. Fuller

Background

Steven purchased a home at 4004 Degnan Blvd, Los Angeles on 06/12/2007 for $625,000.00

Within the next six months immediately after purchasing the home mentioned above, Steven Fuller was faced with foreclosure and the immediate need for increased revenue/income.


Selling the home $100,000.00 below fair market value, an act of financial elder abuse, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Now he is demanding $125,000.00 for something that he volunteered to do and something that mother never agreed too.  

Yeah, dude wants to be rewarded via the civil action in L.A. Superior Court case BP 099211 et al. petitioning the Court to reward him for his fuck ups.

What he won't do is admit to the things that he did wrong in financially abusing his elderly siblings.

He coerced and intimidated his sisters in order for his friends er, attorneys, to get rich






It is alleged that Patrick J. Barnitt and Jeanne M. Fitzgerald as Successor Trustee and Attorney for Successor Trustee colluded and conspired with Steven A. Fuller to sell the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust real estate assets and to circumvent the appeal pending before the 2nd Appeal Court.

The Trust fifty-percent interest in the single-family residence, 1916 N. Belhaven Ave, is $150,000.00 the valuation of which is based on a good faith estimate pursuant to Probate Code section 1063(a).

The fifty-percent interest of the Estate of Edwina Fuller was offered up for sale by Steven A. Fuller, theTrust fifty-percent interest was offered up for sell by Jeanne M. Fitzgerald and confirmed sold by the Court for $76,000.00.  Prior to the sale Steven A. Fuller, Patrick J. Barnitt and Jeanne M. Fitzgerald were notified that if the assets were to be sold they needed to be sold for fair market value to prevent a financial loss to the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and the Estate of Edwina Fuller.

The actions of Patrick J. Barnitt, Jeanne M. Fitzgerald and Steven A. Fuller in the selling of the fifty-percent interest of the Trust asset and the fifty-percent interest of the Estate of Edwina Fuller in the property noted above for far below fair market value is financial elder abuse and against the beneficiaries of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and the Estate of Edwina Fuller i.e. Shirley, Sandra, Robert and Doris.





In the very last conversation that I had with Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller, my maternal grandfather [the victim of elder abuse, financial elder abuse this blog is dedicated too], a mere twenty or so days before his death, I advised him not to trust anyone and his response was, "I know."

That said, I knew at an early age that there was a serious case of dysfunction in the family which is one of the reasons that I decided to leave California in 1990 and never to return for any reason.

Now, Steven Fuller has always attempted to portray himself as an upstanding person but, I knew from past experience that he had what I believed to be several issues. I believe him to be arrogant, egotistical, spoiled, narcissistic, conceited and self-absorbed.

Steven did take care of Momma without a doubt but, let me be clear everyone in the family believed that he did so on a voluntary basis. Truth be told, evidently he didn't. From what I understand, from what I believe and from what has come to fruition in reality is he took care of Momma for financial gain. As far as I know the only member of the family that has agreed that he should be reimbursed for some of his expenses is my mother.

He demanded money from Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller for taking care of Momma and when he didn't get it he sued him.

Let me make a very strong point, before Daddy had fallen ill and still able to live on his own, Steven's goal was always to sale real estate that was not his own but, instead that which belonged to his alleged father and mother.

After the death of both parents he was successful in the sale of the Trust real estate asset in Compton, CA [far below fair market value].  But, he failed or should I say he was thwarted in the sale of the Trust real estate asset located in Inglewood when a complaint was filed against his hand-picked Successor Trustee - Patrick J. Barnitt and Barnitt's attorney - Jeanne M. Fitzgerald with the California State Bar. It should be noted that it was believed that Barnitt was not looking out for the best interest of the Trust or the beneficiaries thereof but, instead doing the bidding of Steven A. Fuller when the Trust assets were being offered up for sale far below fair market value.  Mr. Barnitt and his attorney, Ms. Fitzgerald were advised and admonished that several beneficiaries did not want the Compton asset confirmed and sold far below fair market value but, relisted instead at fair market value if it had to be sold. The sale went through anyway. The asset was sold to pay debts incurred by Steven Fuller in pursuit of his lawsuit against the man that put a roof over his head, fed, clothed and raised him.  I believe this was done to spite Robert and Doris and to liquidate the assets before the appeal B241450 was heard in the 2nd Appellate Court. Not to be left unmentioned the fact that one of the very first things that attorney Sandra Jones Anderson [Steven's attorney] did was place a lien on the Belhaven property.





Amazing that it took 60 years to learn the whole truth about my family.

Robert Stella, elder abuse case update


Restraining order filed against alleged perpetrator

By Pat Sherman
A civil court judge has granted a five-year restraining order against Victoria Turner, the woman accused of abusing 91-year-old La Jolla resident Robert Stella.
As reported in La Jolla Light in March, Stella was removed from his home on Avenida de las Pescas, which the family alleges estranged wife Turner filled with trash, clutter and stray animals — including a dead cat animal control found in the bathroom and a Chihuahua found in the freezer.
The family claims Turner denied Stella food and water, and at times tied him to the bed. Turner later donned a disguise to sneak into the residential care facility where Stella was on the mend. Surveillance cameras captured her attempting to have Stella sign what appeared to be legal documents.
