Should a paid caregiver inherit 4 million dollars? This story starts off normally enough. A caregiver is hired to care for a 94-year-old woman who is nearly blind. So far, so good.

But just five months in, something extraordinary and suspicious happens. The caregiver is named as the elderly woman’s sole beneficiary, trustee, executor, attorney-in-fact and health care agent.

We’ll call the elder Caroline. And, we’ll call the caregiver Lotto, as in a game of chance. You’ll see how Lotto increased her chances for a jackpot, Caroline’s estate.

Caroline’s twenty-year-old trust was changed shortly before her death. The change wiped out Caroline’s long held plans to benefit her life partner, sister and a niece. Caroline had long been generous, even doting, to all of them. She was a family benefactor and enjoyed the role. This was a role that changed over the last months of her life.

She was ill, isolated and subject to the constant presence of her caregiver. Lotto started her scheme within just a few weeks after she was hired.

The changes were monumental. All family members were to receive nothing from Caroline’s estate. And, if the change was left unchallenged, over $4 million in Caroline’s real estate and cash would go to Lotto, her unskilled homeworker.

Caroline died. Caroline’s life partner, sister and niece soon learned of Lotto’s sudden fortune. I was hired to handle the elder financial abuse part of the case. Other California counsel were engaged to challenge the actions in the probate court.
