Session 5 - Strategies when Dealing with the Elderly’s “Rogue” Adult Children

This is a recording of Session 5 of our 2025 Lunch and Learn Series: Strategies, Advice & the Elderly. Estate and capacity litigators often encounter the “rogue” adult child that is taking advantage of their vulnerable parents and their wealth, often under the guise of providing care to their parents. This includes situations where the adult child is using the elderly parent’s money for their own personal use, where they are living at their parents’ home without paying rent, and where the adult child is limiting other family members’ access to see their parents. This seminar considers specific strategies to prevent the adult child from continuing conduct that is contrary to their parents’ best interest. Topics include: Adult child limiting access to elderly parent Ne’er do well using elderly person’s money for their own personal use When adult child refuses to leave elderly parent’s home Whether the adult child is the primary caregiver Occupation rent Mitigating claims that adult child is “dependant” When elderly parent needs help in managing care or property and is refusing assistance More details can be found here: https://www.wagnersidlofsky.com/s5-ro...
