Minnesota Lawyer Working to Prevent the Exploitation of Vulnerable Adults
Disabled, elderly or otherwise incapacitated adults are often well cared for by family members and friends. However, situations arise where the individual is at risk and exploited by someone who takes advantage of their condition. If you believe that a family member or friend is being physically or financially exploited, take immediate action to protect their health, well being and assets.
At Rodney J. Mason, Attorney at Law, clients can explain their situation to experienced probate and estate planning lawyer Rodney Mason. He has handled cases of exploited vulnerable adults for clients in Minneapolis, St. Paul, throughout the Twin Cities and in Western Wisconsin.
Our firm understands the needs of families facing situations where the exploitation of a loved one is discovered. This is an emotional time that can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety. We assess the situation and determine how to act in a timely manner to protect everyone involved.
Financial Exploitation
Most exploitation cases involve the elderly person's finances. Someone has manipulated them into signing over significant amounts of cash or property, or the assets of the older person have been stolen outright. Often because of the position of trust, misrepresentation, or due the weakened mental condition, the vulnerable adult does not understand the risk or believes in good faith the lies they have been told, and suffer a large financial loss.
Physical Exploitation
Physical abuse may accompany financial exploitation. An individual may be physically abused or intimidated in order for someone to take advantage of them financially. We are committed to helping clients seek an end to the abuse and help them see that justice is served.
