For every 24 cases of elder abuse, only one is reported. One woman has no regrets about going to authorities with her concerns about her neighbor's well-being.

Nancy Oatts had a friendly relationship with her neighbor Miss D (Oatts requested that "Miss D" would be used to protect her neighbor's identity.) Miss D had a level of dementia. She lived by herself so Oatts would sometimes visit her and share a beer. One day, Oatts began to notice something wasn't right.

"She was looking neglected. She was very scared and didn't want to let you leave her once she got a hold of you," Oatts said.

Miss D was also carrying around all of her money because she didn't trust her family.

Grandmother tries to spite heirs by shredding $1.1 million

VIENNA - An Austrian 85-year-old cut up into tiny pieces almost a million euros ($1.1-million) in an apparent attempt to spite her heirs, authorities said on Thursday.

After the woman died in a retirement home, the 950,000 euros as well as savings accounts books were found shredded on her bed, prosecutors said.

State prosecutor Erich Habitzl confirmed the discovery -- first reported in the Kurier daily -- but said that there was nothing he could do for the relatives.

Good for her!

NOT TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL REPORTS

It appears that Steven A. Fuller moved against his step-father, Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller, in the various court cases to secure half of all of  Thelsey's assets....

In June 2006, Steven filed a petition for conservatorship of Edwina and her estate. Edwina had lived with him since 1999, and before that time, she lived at the Belhaven property. 

The court appointed him conservator of her and her estate in February 2007. 

In May 2008, Steven filed a petition to determine title to real property in the conservatorship action. 

The petition alleged that in 1968, while still married to Edwina, Thelsey took community property funds and purchased the 12th Avenue property with Odessa. 

Odessa quit claimed her interest in the 12th Avenue property to Thelsey before her death in 2003. 

Steven was seeking a determination that a one-half interest in title to the 12th Avenue property was vested in him.... 

He also wanted the court to determine that he held a one-half interest in title to the Belhaven property....

http://www.courts.ca.gov/opinions/nonpub/B241450.PDF

It must be noted that Daniel Kristof Lak - #216983 the former attorney for Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller has been disbarred for various violations of California Rules of Court.

Daniel Kristof Lak made several fatal errors in his representation of Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller and in the several documents he prepared on behalf of his clients.

Ten complaints are currently pending against the former attorney.

Steven also savaged the Estate of Edwina Fuller and refused to share any of those proceeds with his siblings.

We regress, Steven and his attorney Teddie J. Randall got a way with it and the Court signed off on it.

Crooked Attorney Kills Self

Rock Hill attorney Horace Jones Jr. has appeared in many South Carolina courthouses over the past two decades, representing clients primarily on money matters.

On Monday morning, Jones, 45, was scheduled to be in a Jasper County courtroom – not as an attorney, but as a defendant facing a felony charge that he stole $600,000 from the descendants of slaves who had owned property near Hardeeville since just after emancipation after the Civil War.
If convicted on the breach of trust charge, Jones could have spent up to 10 years in prison.

Eight hours later and 200 miles away, York County sheriff’s deputies found a man’s body in a wooded area on Falls Road outside Rock Hill. Police and the coroner said the man suffered what appeared to be a gunshot wound, and they are investigating the death as a suicide.

You got away with it. [FOR NOW]

It was a fuck fest. 

Thelsey & Edwina's family got humped by the bastard with the help of the Court, and the various corrupt attorneys.

The L. A. Probate Court is a sham but, you scumbags already knew that.

This goes out to all the low-lifes, you know who you are.

Financial Abuse

Elder financial abuse spans a broad spectrum of conduct, including:

• Taking money or property
• Forging an older person's signature
• Getting an older person to sign a deed, will, or power of attorney through deception, coercion, or undue influence
• Using the older person's property or possessions without permission
• Promising lifelong care in exchange for money or property and not following through on the promise
• Confidence crimes ("cons") are the use of deception to gain victims' confidence
• Scams are fraudulent or deceptive acts
• Fraud is the use of deception, trickery, false pretence, or dishonest acts or statements for financial gain
• Telemarketing scams. Perpetrators call victims and use deception, scare tactics, or exaggerated claims to get them to send money. They may also make charges against victims' credit cards without authorization

Who are the perpetrators?

Family members, including sons, daughters, grandchildren, or spouses. They may:

• Have substance abuse, gambling, or financial problems
• Stand to inherit and feel justified in taking what they believe is "almost" or "rightfully" theirs
• Fear that their older family member will get sick and use up their savings, depriving the abuser of an inheritance
• Have had a negative relationship with the older person and feel a sense of "entitlement"
• Have negative feelings toward siblings or other family members whom they want to prevent from acquiring or inheriting the older person's assets

Predatory individuals who seek out vulnerable seniors with the intent of exploiting them. They may:

• Profess to love the older person ("sweetheart scams")
• Seek employment as personal care attendants, counselors, etc. to gain access
• Identify vulnerable persons by driving through neighborhoods (to find persons who are alone and isolated) or contact recently widowed persons they find through newspaper death announcements
• Move from community to community to avoid being apprehended (transient criminals)

Unscrupulous professionals or businesspersons, or persons posing as such. They may:

• Overcharge for services or products
• Use deceptive or unfair business practices
• Use their positions of trust or respect to gain compliance

506.  Every trustee, banker, merchant, broker, attorney, agent,

such property or money, or any portion thereof, and who fraudulently
appropriates to his or her own use, or the use of any person other

510.  Any evidence of debt, negotiable by delivery only, and
actually executed, is the subject of embezzlement, whether it has

511.  Upon any indictment for embezzlement, it is a sufficient
defense that the property was appropriated openly and avowedly, and
under a claim of title preferred in good faith, even though such
claim is untenable. But this provision does not excuse the unlawful
retention of the property of another to offset or pay demands held
against him.

512.  The fact that the accused intended to restore the property
embezzled, is no ground of defense or mitigation of punishment, if it
has not been restored before an information has been laid before a
magistrate, or an indictment found by a grand jury, charging the
commission of the offense.

an indictment found by a grand jury, charging the commission of

authorizes the court to mitigate punishment, in its discretion.

514.  Every person guilty of embezzlement is punishable in the
manner prescribed for theft of property of the value or kind
embezzled; and where the property embezzled is an evidence of debt or
right of action, the sum due upon it or secured to be paid by it

the public funds of the United States, or of this state, or of any
county or municipality within this state, the offense is a felony,
and is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison; and the person
so convicted is ineligible thereafter to any office of honor, trust,
or profit in this state.

515.  Upon conviction of a felony violation under this chapter, the
fact that the victim was an elder or dependent person, as defined in
Section 288, shall be considered a circumstance in aggravation when
imposing a term under subdivision (b) of Section 1170.

FRAUD

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY & FRAUD

Breach of fiduciary duty commonly falls under the following three categories:

1. Breach of reasonable care (negligence) [CACI 4101];

2. Breach of duty of loyalty [CACI 4102] ; and/or

3. Breach of confidentiality [CACI 4103].

Of course, intentional wrongs such as fraud (fiduciary fraud) as well as negligent misrepresentation also constitute a breach of fiduciary duty.

The elements of a cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty are:

(1) Duty: Existence of a fiduciary duty;

(2) Breach: The breach of that duty; and

(3) Causation of Damages: Damage proximately caused by that breach.

 Mosier v. Southern California Physicians Insurance Exchange (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 1022, 1044.

Note: In certain cases, punitive damages may be available in specifically defined egregious cases (Hobbs v. Bateman Eichler, Hill Richards, Incorporated (1985) 164 Cal.App.3d 174). 

But attorney’s fees are not generally recoverable in breach of fiduciary causes of action (Allstate Insurance Co. v. Superior Court (2007) 151 Cal. App. 4th 1512, 1528).  The measure and types of damage relief available in breach of fiduciary claims depend on the nature of the breach.

Because breach of fiduciary duty is a hybrid of a contract and tort action, courts sometimes modify, and/or vary in their interpretations of issues such as, for example, damages and the statute of limitations.

Fiduciary California

FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION LAW IN CALIFORNIA

California law allows persons to recover damages for intentional fraud as well as negligent misrepresentations if certain elements are sufficiently plead and proved.

WHAT IS FRAUD?

Fraud is using deceit or dishonest means for the purpose of depriving another of money, property or a legal right.

This article discusses types of fraud, pleading and proving the elements thereof.

TYPES OF CIVIL TORT FRAUD AND MISREPRESENTATION:

Intentional fraud and deceit occur when the perpetrator uses deceit (false important facts) to convince the victim to rely on the false facts.  Then the victim reasonably relied on and was harmed by the deceit.

Promissory fraud occurs when the perpetrator makes a promise that is important to the transaction that he or she never intends to (and never does) perform, in order to induce the victim to rely victim rely on the promise.  Then the victim must reasonably rely on and be harmed by the false promise.

Compare breach of contract where a party makes a genuine promise but later breaks the promise.

Concealment fraud occurs when there is a fiduciary or other relationship between the parties where there is a duty of full disclosure. The concealing person, with an intention to deceive, does not disclose important facts that the concealing person knows but the victim does not and could not know. Further, the victim reasonably relied on and was harmed by the concealment.

Embezzlement: “Embezzlement is the fraudulent appropriation of property by a person to whom it has been intrusted [entrusted]” (Criminal CA Penal Code Section 503).  From the civil relief standpoint, embezzlement may create various causes of action such as, for example, conversion (wrongful taking of property), fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty.

Constructive fraud (negligent misrepresentation) occurs when the perpetrator misrepresents to the victim that an important false fact is true.  But the perpetrator may have honestly believed that the false representation is true.  Yet, the perpetrator had no reasonable grounds for believing the representation was true when he or she made it; and he or she intends that victim rely on the representation.  The victim must reasonably rely on and be harmed by the false representation.

Civil fraud, deceit and misrepresentation are defined in Civil Code Sections 1709, 1710, 1572 and 1573.

Fraud, Deceit & Misrepresentation

Fraudulent misrepresentation occurs when one makes representation with intent to deceive and with the knowledge that it is false. An action for fraudulent misrepresentation allows for a remedy of damages and rescission.

Protecting Our Parents: Elder Abuse Scams

How the Most Common Fraud Schemes Work

By Jennifer Chandler Posted: 09/23/15 

“I'm 83 years old. I can't cut it in jail."

This was what an elderly woman recovering from heart surgery told her AARP representative. Shaking in fear, she said she had received a telephone call from the Internal Revenue Service warning her that she was behind on her taxes and would be put in jail if she did not pay immediately.

It wasn't the IRS. It was an impostor looking to gain access to her financial information.

How to Prevent Elder Abuse

"Baker’s story may sound unbelievable. You may tell yourself it could never happen to you or anyone in your family. But don’t be so sure. Financial elder abuse—broadly defined as the illegal or improper use of the funds, property, or assets of people 60 and older by family, friends, neighbors, and strangers—is rising fast."

Here's the kicker.... the authorities can careless.

STEVEN FULLER aka Steven Bain vs THELSEY FULLER

Steven Fuller aka Steven Bain various Court Sases in regards to his alleged dad, Thelsey Fuller.

Los Angeles County Superior Court
BP099211, BP122665, BP118616, BP135381

If we would have known then what we know now, Steven would have not be able to savage the family and destroy everything that our parents worked their entire lives to accomplish. 

He definitely would not have been able to take advantage of his victims in all of this, namely: Thelsey L. Fuller; Edwina J. Fuller; Shirley C. Ritchey; and Sandra J. Arnold.

It must be noted that Steven had designs on selling real estate that did not belong to him but, instead that which belonged to his victims, Thelsey L. Fuller & Edwina J. Fuller.

Simply put, Steven voiced his desires to sell all of the real estate assets while Dad was still living alone in Inglewood.

We didn't realize at the time how he would be able to pull it off but, he did it. Selling one of the homes well below fair market value for a $40,000.00 loss.

But, that my friends is not how the fuckry began or ended this thing has had a lot of twist and turn yet at the end of the day the snake has been exposed.

Know that it is the author's personal opinion that Steven A. is a self-righteous prick, a liar and a thief.

We await the Courts decision as Steven A. with the help of Atty. Teddie J. Randall took over $131,000.00 from the Estate of Edwina Fuller and sold real estate below fair market value.... a violation of his fiduciary duties to the estate and its beneficiaries.

Oh, he also shafted his first attorney, Sandra J. Anderson ESQ, he still owes her in excess of $14,000.00.

Senior scams: Financial elder abuse rampant and grossly underreported, prosecutors say

With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day in the United States, Baker says the problem is only going to get worse.

"We have what can really only be described as a 'silver tsunami' coming in this state with so many people retiring," Baker said. "They're vibrant and wonderful contributing members of our community, but they're also the No. 1 target for predators in fraud and financial crimes."

Among those were Jean Phyllis Jones, of Pleasanton, who was suffering from dementia when former Pinole police commander Matthew Messier walked into her life. Within weeks of befriending Jones, Messier, according to authorities, tricked her into signing over her $1.5 million, century-old Victorian estate.

"To be cheated was devastating, and it made her decline even more," said Heidi Bailey, one of two neighbors who reported the case to authorities.

Messier eventually pleaded no contest to one felony count of lying on his bankruptcy filings and received five years probation. He served about two months in County Jail and was required to reimburse Jones for the legal fees but never admitted to defrauding her. Jones died in January at 84.

Former Alameda County Superior Court judge Paul Seeman was charged in 2013 in connection with stealing more than $200,000 from his elderly neighbor Anne Nutting, who died in 2010. Seeman, prosecutors said, befriended Nutting, obtained power of attorney and pilfered from her accounts. Seeman pleaded no contest to felony counts of financial elder abuse and perjury, but as part of a deal with prosecutors, he was given time served. He was disbarred and removed from the bench, forced to pay restitution to Nutting's estate and received five years probation.

Last year, Alameda County prosecuted about 415 cases of elder abuse, most of them embezzlement, fraud and identity theft, according to District Attorney Nancy O'Malley. In many cases, O'Malley said, a younger stranger will befriend the elderly person, gain their trust, and then steal behind their backs.

The Estate of Edwina Fuller - $107,692.30

A hearing was held on 08/12/2015 in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller in Los Angeles Superior Court, Case # BP 135 381.

We have learned that the court indicated to both Steven Fuller and his attorney Teddie J. Randall that Mr. Fuller incorrectly took the money from the conservatorship. 

Steven Fuller believed that he had a right to the money because he had a lien on the probate estate. 

The money was placed into the conservatorship not the probate estate and he just took it.

The court took the matter under submission and will issue a written ruling. 

Steven violated his fiduciary duty by taking the money.

More to come.

Estate of Edwina Fuller; Where are the Bank Statements, Supplement to Accounting

[Department    LA    5     Court Convened at:    1:30 PM    8/12/2015]

Dear PA Matthew Osborne,

This email is to notify you as the Probate Attorney that I have not received copies of the Supplement to Accounting filed with the Court on 06/09/2015 nor the bank statements in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller which were requested of Atty. Randall and Steven Fuller almost a year ago.

Please see attached.

The lack of transparency by Atty. Randall and Mr. Fuller in regards to this estate is very unsettling, very disturbing, criminal. 

Warmest regards,

-------

(Teddie J. Randall & Steven Fuller)

Know that I will seek further action against both of you with the proper authorities for your failure to provide the information requested in regards to the Estate of Edwina Fuller.

-------

I have explained this to you before and the court has informed you.  You are not an attorney,  nor do you represent any one in this action.  I will not be providing you with any documents.  You have a right to request any documentation from the administrator,  Mr. Steven Fuller.

Attorney T. Randall

-------

You are correct - I am not a shyster, a liar, and or a thief.

I can't say the same about you counselor.

I would not have needed to attempt to look out for my mother's best interest via a limited power of attorney [find attached] if you were above board, open, and honest.

My mother wants a copy, I'm sure she's entitled to it.

She has alleged that you will not respond to her, don't answer her calls nor return them. 

That is your pattern as far as she is concerned.

I already know that you took advantage of her and my Aunt Carol.

So, what are you hiding?

That said, mail her a copy....

*****************************
Objs filed 4/17/15; Amendment to objs filed 5/1/15
Objr is Sandra Arnold through her agent Michael L. Long (self represented)

SUMMARY:
Objr is atty in fact for decd's daughter Sandra Arnold
Objs served

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr alleges he was granted a limited pwr of atty in 11/13 by Sandra Arnold, a beneficiary of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust and this estate.

Objr alleges the accounting is fatally flawed in that the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, [BP 122665], via atty Tala R. Davis as succr tee of the Thelsey L. Fuller Trust, paid $107,692.30 to the this estate with a certified cashier's check from Comerica Bank dated 09/29/2014 to Steven Fuller as conservator of the estate and person of Edwina Fuller and said monies have not been accounted for.

Objr alleges that those funds were misappropriated and converted by petnr Steven Fuller with the help of atty Teddie J. Randall and that by failing to properly give an accurate and honest accounting to the court constitutes fraud, theft, conversion and financial elder abuse against the beneficiaries of this estate.

MATTERS TO BE CLEARED: N/A

ARGUMENT: Objr, as the former atty for consr Steven Fuller, filed a petn for fees after becoming aware that her former client Steven Fuller had, without notice, consulted another attorney to prepare and file the Second Account and Final Account and Report of the cshp. Said 2nd & Final Acct for the cshp omitted any reference to objr's srvcs or to the costs advanced by the objr on behalf of the cshp estate. The acct did indicate that the cshp had an ending balance of $192,837.50 of which $145.29 was cash, $85,000 in real property and $107,692.30 in a judgment in favor of the cshp.

Per 11/18/14 order approving Steven Fuller's final acct as consr, Fuller was authorized and directed to pay objr the sum of $14,951 for atty fees and $161 for costs advanced. Despite this order, objr has not been paid.
