Best Estate Planning Attorneys in Tupelo, MS

A new twist on elder exploitation; trying to grab an inheritance through a parent's divorce. We have helped many elderly clients after they were exploited financially., this was a first. A daughter tried to get her mother's house by trying to get her mother declared incompetent and having herself declared as her mother's conservator in another state. Her plan failed when she admitted it to guardian ad litem appointed by the court. In response, her mother moved to Mississippi where her family was from, and her father/husband stayed with his daughter until she ran out of his money. The daughter tried to get at the couple's assets by convincing her father -in his eighties - to file for divorce - to have her parents divide their assets in the diverse. She planned to get her father's share from him. One of the divorce lawyers was concerned about the mother, her age, and being exploited and had her contact our firm for help. After the father realized where things were heading, he reconciled with his wife and son. After they reconciled, we got them to dismiss the divorce in a way in which the greedy daughter could not take advantage of her parents, after all, they need their assets to provide for their care. The elderly need your patience, care, and concern. their assets are theirs which they probably need as well.
