An older adult called legal aid for help when her son filed an eviction action against her. Legal Aid discovered there had been ongoing abuse and exploitation. After the client’s husband passed away, she asked her son to help her purchase a new home, purchase a car, and manage her money. She set up a joint bank account so that her son could assist her. The son put the home and car in his name alone and convinced his mother that it had to be kept that way. The son also began using his mother’s money to gamble and when she started seeing multiple overdrafts each month on her account, she confronted her son. Her son became more combative with her. He threatened to have her kicked out of her home and isolate her from her friends. When the client refused to allow her son, his girlfriend, and children to move into her home, he retaliated by filing an eviction action against her. Legal Aid was able to prevent the eviction and filed a civil lawsuit against her son. As a result, the client obtained legal ownership of her home and car, as well as a money judgment against her son so she could recover the money he had illegally taken from her. She is living in her home and surrounded by loving friends.
