27
28 3
COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES FOR FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE
and further, was under the undue influence of defendant. This instrument should be

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES FOR FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE
1 7. On or around June 24, 2020, defendant took steps to influence settler
2 and have him sign a revocation of his trust. It is unknown at this time if defendant
3
proceeded to have a revocation of the will executed as well, but defendant recently
4
flied a petition for letters of administration whereby he failed to indicate that there was
5
an existing valid will.
6
8. Settler passed away on June 28, 2020, just four days after the revocation
7

8 was purportedly signed. At the time that he purportedly signed the revocation, settler

9 was suffering from significant mental and physical deficits, and was diagnosed by
10 health care providers and others who were caring for him, to be unable to understand
11
what was going on or to understand and control his actions. In fact, settler was
12
exhibiting anger and impaired decision-making, as well as hallucinations, delusions,
13
and paranoid behavior. Settlor was also showing signs of forgetfulness, and memory
14
deficits, according to a Sutter Health visit report.
15

16 9. As a result of defendant's actions, settlor was damaged in that his trust

17 and prior estate plan which provided for distribution of his assets according to his
18 intentions, was purportedly revoked and his intentions for distribution of his assets was
19
altered.
20
10. Defendant took, secreted, appropriated, obtained, and retained property
21
of the settler for a wrongful use and with intent to defraud settlor. Defendant took these
22
23
actions in violation of Welfare & Institutions Code Section 15610.30, to settler's harm

24 as well as the harm of their children. As settler was incapacitated at the time of the

25 acts and died just four days later, the Trust was essentially irrevocable and had
26 confirmed settler's desire for distribution of property.
27

28 4
COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES FOR FINANCIAL ELDER ABUSE
1 11. Defendant's above-described conduct is defined in and governed by,
2
among other provisions, California Welfare & Institutions Code ("W&I") Sections
3
15610.07, 15610.27, 15610.30, 15610.53, 15610.57, 15657.5, 15657.6, 15670.
4

5 12. As described herein, pursuant to W&I Code Sections 15610.07,

6 15610.30, and 15657.5, defendant committed financial elder abuse upon settlor.

7 13. As a legal and proximate result of the acts of defendant, settlor, the Trust
8
and plaintiff as the expected beneficiary, have suffered general damages in the sum of
9
at least $200,000.
10
14. The above-described conduct of defendant was willful and malicious and
11

12 was intended to cause injury to settlor and plaintiff. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to an
13 award of exemplary or punitive damages. Moreover, plaintiff is entitled to attorneys'
14
fees pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code Section 15657 .5. Further, defendant
15
should be deemed to predecease settlor as a result of his actions, pursuant to Probate
16
Code Section 259.
17

18 WHEREFORE, plaintiff prays judgment against defendants as herein set forth.

19
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
20 FOR JUDGMENT DECLARING TRUST REVOCATION VOID AND INVALID
21
15. Plaintiffs incorporate paragraphs 1 through 14 herein by reference and
22
further alleges:
23

24 16. The trust revocation purportedly executed by decedent and settlor shortly
25 before his passing should be declared void and invalid as decedent did not have the
26
capacity to understand and execute this document and was incompetent at the time,
27
