Q: This is regarding your column — “When family members make a move on an elder’s resources” published online July 9, 2022, in The Mercury News and East Bay Times — about elder abuse:

We bought a family home from the adult siblings who tricked the matriarch. The eldest adult daughter living overseas is the rightful successor trustee. The three local adult siblings persuaded the elderly matriarch into making them successor co-trustees. Learning of this deception, the eldest adult daughter rushed back to Silicon Valley. A judge recently reinstated the eldest adult daughter as the successor trustee and voided our home sale.
