Elder financial abuse reports increasing; usually the work of relatives...

By Brent Hunsberger | bhunsberger@oregonian.com 

The biggest risk to an older or disabled loved one’s finances is a relative, a friend … maybe even you.

Family, acquaintances and unrelated caregivers are most likely to exploit an older or disabled person’s finances, a new state study of the increasingly reported problem has found.

To report abuse in Oregon

Call Oregon Department of Human Services at 1-800-232-3020 or go to DHS online for other resources.

The abuse also remains difficult to prove, according to the study by the Oregon Office of Adult Abuse Prevention and Investigations. The office’s investigators were able to substantiate only 30 percent of alleged abuses reported by seniors and disabled people. 

The rest were either unsubstantiated or inconclusive.

Financial exploitation is the most common form of elder abuse and figures to be a significant issue as the population ages with large amounts of accumulated wealth.

Elder abuse, use of shelters rising

 

She raises her hands to her snow-white hair in a gesture of frustrated bewilderment, then slowly lowers them to cover eyes filling with tears. The woman, in her 70s, is trying to explain how she wound up in a shelter that could well be where she spends the rest of her life.

While the woman was living with a close family member, officials at the Shalom Center say, her money was being drained away by people overcharging for her grocery shopping, while her body and spirit were sapped by physical neglect and emotional torment. She says she was usually ordered to "go to bed," where she lay in a dark room, upset, unable to sleep.

"She just yelled at me all the time. Screamed at me, cussed me out," the woman says of a family member. "I don't know what happened. She just got tired of me, I guess."

Elder Medi-Cal Fraud?

Isolate your victim from all other family members other than yourself.

Set up your victim's Trust with the assistance of a shyster to benefit you, the abusers.

Obtain Power of Attorney over all of your victim's affairs.

Hide real estate transactions, slander real estate titles.

Take out a reverse mortgage on your own home and then have your victim gift it back to you a few months later.

Empty all of your victims bank accounts, search their home too.

Lie, obstruct, abuse, commit fraud and undue influence.

Place your 92-year-old victim in an undisclosed convalescent hospital against their will, and sign them up for Medi-Cal when you know damn well that your victim has medical insurance.

The hospital then charges Medi-Cal for services and once your victim dies in said undisclosed convalescent hospital the state goes after your deceased victim's spouse's estate for repayment of Medi-Cal expenses via a Creditor's Claim once your victim's spouse dies.

Refuse to repay your victim's estate in excess of $235,000.00 as order by the Court, take over your victim's real estate and go laughing all the way to the bank because you know that you will never be prosecuted for criminal elder abuse, theft and fraud!

Relatives, Friends Most Often Behind Abuse Of Elderly

  Broken trust

by Todd South

When the scion of one of Chattanooga’s most distinguished families admitted last week that he drained the accounts and mortgaged the home of his dementia-addled sister, the event underscored a grave truth — most exploitation of the elderly and disabled occurs at the hands of those closest to them.

On Tuesday, George “Zeb” Patten Jr., 48, pleaded guilty to three counts of theft over $10,000 in Hamilton County Criminal Court. Judge Rebecca Stern ordered him to pay $100,000 restitution over the next six years to his sister’s estate while he serves probation.

His sister, Terry Alice Patten, died last year from complications of early-onset dementia.

The siblings are descendants of the Patten family, which included brothers Zeboim Cartter Patten and George Washington Patten. The family has connections to Chattem, Patten Towers, Coca-Cola Bottling and other historical backbone businesses of the region.

Research nationally and in Tennessee shows that elders and the disabled are increasingly victims of financial exploitation and that much of the time it is family or close friends committing the abuse.

A 2009 study by the National Center on Elder Abuse showed 90 percent of overall elder abuse — physical, sexual, financial — was committed by family members.

Financial exploitation specifically was done by family 34 percent of the time.

The same group analyzed reported incidents of elder abuse for a three-month period in 2010 and estimated $2.9 billion was taken from the elderly, a 12 percent increase from 2008.

Former Judge, Attorney Robert Browning Pleads "No Contest" To Elder Abuse Charges

Forest Grove attorney Robert Andrew Browning pleaded no contest in Washington County Circuit Court on Tuesday to 13 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment.

Before Presiding Judge Kirsten Thompson, Assistant Attorney General Matt McCauley outlined the case against Browning, who has previously been a municipal court judge in North Plains and Gaston.

A grand jury indicted Browning in September after a two-year investigation into the financial exploitation of Browning's mother and former mother-in-law. Browning was charged with 14 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment; McCauley dismissed one of those counts Tuesday.

Between 2007 and 2009, McCauley said, Browning held power of attorney for both his mother, Josephine "Alice" Browning, and his former mother-in-law, Laura Sullivan. Both women, now deceased, were in residential care facilities at the time and had dementia, McCauley said.

Browning moved money from both women's bank accounts into his own accounts on numerous occasions, McCauley said. The money transfers and withdrawals ranged from $1,000 to $45,000, McCauley said, and Browning spent none of that money on the victims' care.

Pressure Ulcers

The following information was copied verbatim from the AHCPR Guidelines, which is consistent with the recommendations of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) Consensus Development Conference:

Stage 1
Nonblanchable erythema of intact skin, the heralding lesion of skin ulceration. In individuals with darker skin, discoloration of the skin, warmth, edema, induration, or hardness may also be indicators.

A Stage I pressure ulcer is an observable pressure related alteration of intact skin whose indicators as compared to the adjacent or opposite area on the body may include changes in one or more of the following: skin temperature (warmth or coolness), tissue consistency (firm or boggy feel) and/or sensation (pain, itching).

The ulcer appears as a defined area of persistent redness in lightly pigmented skin, whereas in darker skin tones, the ulcer may appear with persistent red, blue, or purple hues.

Stage 2
Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis, dermis, or both. The ulcer is superficial and presents clinically as an abrasion, blister, or shallow crater.

Stage 3
Full thickness skin loss involving damage to or necrosis of subcutaneous tissue that may extend down to, but not through, underlying fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep crater with or without undermining of adjacent tissue.

Stage 4
Full thickness skin loss with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to muscle, bone, or supporting structures (e.g., tendon, joint capsule). Undermining and sinus tracts also may be associated with Stage 4 pressure ulcers.

At the time of his death, according to medical records, Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller suffered with all four stages of pressure ulcers over different areas of his body.

Caregiver Busted for Financial Elder Abuse & Embezzlement

Elder Caregiver Busted for Abuse & Embezzlement

By R.L.  McCullough
on Wednesday, March 7th, 2012 at 10:34 am

Sarah Helen Benson, 21, was arrested today on charges of felony embezzlement and financial elder abuse by a caregiver in connection with her work in caring for an ill 71-year-old Santa Barbara man.

According to Santa Barbara Police Department Public Affairs Officer Sgt. Riley Harwood, unauthorized ATM and check transactions had been processed through Montecito Bank & Trust at the direction and control of Benson, but in the name of her elderly client.  “The victim is ill, but he’s of sound mind,” Harwood said in his statements to the media, indicating that both the victim and another caregiver reported the purloined funds to Santa Barbara Police Detectives on February 3^rd.

Harwood detailed a number of bogus transactions on the victim’s bank account, including four checks written by Benson totaling nearly $8,000.  “Apparently the suspect had gained her victim’s trust over a period of tine,” Harwood said.  Because the victim suffers from a medical condition rendering him unable to control his muscle movement, he requires the services of a caregiver to help him perform such chores as writing checks.

Both SBPD investigation and the work of Santa Barbara County Adult Protective Services, who had been alerted to the possible criminal activity of Benson, revealed that the forgeries and embezzlements had taken place over a period of several months, with losses to the victim of more than $50,000.

 http://crimevoice.com/elder-caregiver-busted-for-abuse-embezzlement-11248/

Sarah Helen Benson is set for a preliminary hearing on 12/21/2012 at 8:30AM in the Santa Barbara County Superior Court, Case #1405115, Department SB10.

Real Estate Fraud, Forgery, Hiding of Trust Assets???

"THIS IS A BENAMARINE.BLOGSPOT.COM PRESS RELEASE!"

Page 27 of the "S" Trust reflects that Daddy's "Interest in the real property located at 8625 S.12th Street (sic), Inglewood, CA 90305" on line # 3 but, he list 16219 S. Bradfield Ave differently on line # 1?

The Bradfield Ave property was completely in the "S" Trust but, only what Daddy believed to be his portion of 12th Ave was included in the "S" Trust.

However, Belhaven Ave wasn't included in the "S" Trust at all!!!   (See images below.)

Belhaven Ave. was later recorded with the county recorder as being "L" Trust property by the ABUSERS on 31 December 2008!!!

That said, did Daddy give 50% of the Inglewood property and 100% of Belhaven Ave to his wife, Edwina by default via the Trust document???

Why didn't  Daddy list or mention the Belhaven Ave. or the Falmouth Ave. properties in the Trust???

The truth concerning 8707 Falmouth Ave #308 has yet to be determined but, Ms. Eisenstein has admitted that she knows Daniel K. Lak.

The Trust was done July 23, 2008 which was prior to Daddy gifting Doris her own home as recorded on October 21, 2008.

Then there’s the $55,000.00 cash withdrawal on August 1, 2008?  "Follow the MONEY!"

So, the question remains… How and when did Daddy become owner of Doris's home on Bradfield and the condo on Falmouth in Playa Del Rey?

Then there is the question of the validity of Daddy's signature on the Trust and other documents.

I would really love to compare Daddy's signature to Lak's documents with Daddy's driver's license and any checks Daddy would have signed on his checking account prior to the advent of Daniel K. Lak circa July 2008.  As all I have to go by and take as accurate is the signature on the power of attorney Daddy signed on May 1, 2008 at the bank with Aunt Carol.

Testimony of Thelsey L. Fuller, BP099211, BP122665

There is no Testimony of Thelsey L. Fuller.  Robert L. Fuller, Doris A Fuller & Daniel K. Lak saw to that and the court allowed it.

Continuance, continuance, continuance, after continuance ruled the day.  Mr. Thelsey L. Fuller was never allowed to be asked or answer one question in open court regarding his wife - Mrs. Edwina J. Fuller, himself or his assets.

"Thelsey S. Fuller Trust"  "Thelsey L. Fuller Trust" it's so very confusing!!!

2nd District Court of Appeal

B241450 & B241452

http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search.cfm?dist=2

Judge Marvin Lager, found Robert and Doris Fuller guilty of fraud, undue influence and elder abuse - all in probate court.  They were removed as trustees of the Estate of Thelsey L. Fuller and court ordered to turn over all paperwork and monies that were stolen out of the Trust ($235,000.00 - $107,000.00 of which belonged to our mother - who was alive at the time).  Immediately, Robert and Doris placed Doris Fuller's daughter inside the real property (8625 12th Ave, Inglewood, CA) in which they no longer were trustees or had control over.  

Also, Robert Fuller said that he wasn’t going to pay  Momma, "SHIT!”  

So much for the orders given by Judge Lager. 

So much for the orders of the Court.

My hat goes off to Det. Gomez of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for her efforts to get justice for the victims, Mr. & Mrs. Thelsey L. Fuller.
