PHASE I. PREDATORY HOME CARE ENVIRONMENT INITIAL RED FLAG CIRCUMSTANCES & REPEATING VIOLATION PATTERNS OCCUR AT ALL PHASES. 

When the primary care/home care provider is also agent on the Durable Power of Attorney (PoA), Advanced Directives (Healthcare Proxy) and/or Guardian/Conservator this is a dangerous situation for undue influence, because they can legally restrict access to the elder at home, elder care facilities and hospitals. In these circumstances the home-care provider coordinates the  vulnerable elder person's doctor visits, bank transfers, attorney phone calls and estate document signing appointments. 

Home-care providers, whom are also the elders power of attorneys, trustees & fiduciaries seeking to control the senior's estate and transfer their assets to themselves can do so on their own or with the assistance of professionals to ensure greater success. This is a substantial exploitative environment when the elder person becomes physically/memory impaired & dependent on others in position's of trust.

Predators of  this sort use conflict as a means to transfer themselves assets and greater power or leverage in circumstances; they use smoke and mirror techniques such as lies, defamation and blame-shifting. They are not beyond weaponizing the Police or Adult Protection Services (APS) to implement the APS-Initiated Elder Abuse Restraining Order (AIRO) available in some states if family or friends try to assist  or inform the elder person of the home-care provider/PoA/landlord/Guardian/Conservator's exploitative, negligent and abusive actions. 

When a senior becomes health compromised, physically challenged and memory impaired, long-estranged family or the senior’s new friends may usurp through force, trickery or clandestine document signing to take over as the seniors primary care provider, durable power of attorneys and often by default guardian/conservator if the primary care provider is the healthcare proxy/PoA. The health care proxy and PoA are used by attorneys to justify a home care provider as justification to becoming the Guardian or Conservator and may have been written into those documents as additional provisions.  When the primary/home care provider coordinates all aspect of the senior's life and whom has access to the elder person, such as coordinating estate document signing, bank transfers, either over the phone or in person this is a dangerous circumstance that opens the door to repeating exploitation. Fraud rewarded is fraud repeated. 

Other risk variables when signing estate power and asset transferring documents when a senior is dependent,  can include substance addicted predators in home care provider roles. This is dramatically exasperated when the elder has circulatory system health problems while also being  addicted to substances themselves (alcohol is the primary addiction in seniors) and potentially the elders opioid/fentanyl based or other prescription pain medications. The  elder's health matters may restrict normal oxygen carrying blood flow to the brain such as ischemia/hypoxia which is common in elderly persons with heart/kidney conditions. These exploitative health condition are exasperated by the free flow of prescription pain meds mixed with alcohol use, provided by the predatory home caregiver.  

When the care provider restricts visitation access to trusted family/friends/fiduciaries, while coordinating the elder's clandestine document signings and appointments with an unethical estate planning attorney to transfer assets to the care provider/PoA/fiduciary a crime has likely been committed. Proofing it in a highly manipulated or fixed probate court is difficult. All these circumstances are characteristic of undue influence which is trademark predatory behavior. Law enforcement could consider these matters as financial, psychological and physical abuse. Unfortunately, most police and prosecutors don't enforce each states elder abuse, negligence and statutory codes particularity of the aforementioned nature and incorrectly classify these to be civil not criminal  matters when they are reported. Predators or the professionals assisting them know this, however most persons trying to assist the elder person do not understand this.

PHASE I: PREDATORY HOME CARE ENVIRONMENT: PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER IN KEY LIAISON POSITION WITH OTHER PREDATORY PROFESSIONALS.

This primary care provider position is ripe for fraud triangle circumstances; 1) Opportunity, 2) Incentive/Pressure & 3) Rationalization (see diagram below). 

This can specifically  include  the primary/home care provider exploiting dependencies such as driving for the seniors food & medicine, providing/maintaining shelter, providing/denying emergency medical care and regular necessities this can also include exploiting an elder’s serious or life-threatening substance abuse dependencies (alcohol & increasing use of Doctor/Primary Care Physician - PCP prescribed painkillers can include Opioids/Fentanyl based meds or other addictive, dependency creating prescriptions). These substances are refereed to as chemical restraints by critics or patient/pain management methods by care providers.

The elders formerly trusted family/friends trying to help the senior through litigation will go broke because probate courts, police and State Bars do not enforce laws & model rules and are all are subject to those whom have authority drafted in the ruling estate documents. In some cases the perpetrator network will often get restraining orders placed on those trying to help elder & they will drive them away via harassment & threats.

PHASE II: PREDATORY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS: ORGANIZED ELDER EXPLOITATION OCCURRING WITH PHASE I ALSO INVOLVES ONE OR SEVERAL PREDATORY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS DRAFTING "ESTATE & PERSON CONTROLLING DOCUMENTS" AND THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONALS (PHASE III) THAT ASSIST ELDERS PREDATORY PRIMARY/HOMECARE PROVIDERS (Guardian Ad Litems. Social Workers, Primary Care Physicians (PCP), Evaluating Psychologists). 

Third-party professionals are required to be acting independently on the elders behalf for the court. However, often they are not independent and this presents substantial conflicts of interest, even fraud upon the court. Probate court is informal and often manipulated in the favor of those in control of the elderly person and their assets. These are the Courts preferential parties. State Statutes, Federal Acts & Uniform code are often not enforced. Established mediated agreements to help protect the senior from abuse, exploitation or negligence do not have to be followed or enforced by preferential-party (those who control the estate documents & elder person) leaning probate judges.

PHASE 2: PREDATORY LEGAL PROFESSIONALS & COURTS PREFERENTIAL THIRD PARTIES ENVIRONMENT.

Home-care providers, Caregivers (those whom the elder is dependent on for life necessities) arranges for new attorney to meet with senior and drafts new estate documents to be the dependent, physical disabled/memory impaired seniors Durable Power of Attorney and health care proxy. 

Unethical estate planning & elder law attorneys may also have the dependent senior sign a limited financial power of attorney with the Estate planer as agent. Estate planning attorney will actually act for the benefit of the caretaker and begin senior’s asset transfers and will changes to favor the care-provider/PoA(s). This includes the predatory home-care provider gaining control over elder via legal documents. In Uniform Code States this is against Uniform PoA Act, ABA/State Model Rules, many other State & Federal Statutes.implements estate documents.

PHASE III: PREDATORY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS: ORGANIZED ELDER EXPLOITATION OCCURRING WITH PHASE I & II CAN INVOLVE ONE OR SEVERAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONALS THAT ASSIST ELDERS PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS (Guardian Ad Litems. Social Workers, Primary Care Physicians, Evaluating Psychologists).

A major warning sign is when the home-care provider changes the elders long-established primary care physicians (PCP). A PCP is often the seniors first line of defense against physical, mental and undue influence abuse. If the new PCP is in a professional  exploitation network, they will conceal material facts on medical conditions, allow for or even prescribe questionable medications that maintain or create substance addiction and cover for for the abusive caretaker & other professionals in court litigation when a physicians evaluation is required. They may not check medical records or fail to coordinate with the specialists doctors for heart,  kidney or other specialist health matters that elders often require.

PHASE 3: PREDATORY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS & COURTS PREFERENTIAL THIRD PARTY EVALUATORS.

There are been multiple arrest across the nation of Doctors illegally providing seniors dangerous pain killer and opioid based pharmaceuticals leading to sky rocketing addicting rates in the elder community. Unethical practitioners will conceal and even lie in Court required physician evaluations.

Neurocognitive Psychologists using easily manipulated cognitive evaluations are frequently used by estate planning attorneys to add validity to illicitly planned Wills drafted in suspicions circumstances . Just like compromised social workers and Guardian Ad LItems, unethical Psychologists can sway their court reports any way they are directed for the right fee. Unethical medical practitioners  often review a seniors medical records to validate an elders health circumstance or if the victim is subject undue influence, coercion or duress caused by predators controlling the senior.

PHASE IV:  PREDATORY HOSPITALS, ELDERCARE FACILITIES & HOSPICES:  ORGANIZED ELDER EXPLOITATION OCCURRING WITH PHASE I - II CAN INVOLVE ONE OR SEVERAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONALS THAT ASSIST ELDERS PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS  AND THEIR ATTORNEYS ENFORCE COMPROMISED. ILLICITLY DRAFTED RULING DOCUMENTS (Guardians, Conservators, Guardian Ad Litems. Social Workers, Primary Care Physicians, Evaluating Psychologists). Corrupt hospice care is often the end of the elder human trafficking pipeline.

PHASE 4: PREDATORY MEDICAID/MEDICARE HOSPITALS, FOR PROFIT ELDER CARE FACILITIES & HOSPICES GUARANTEED TO BE PAID FROM THE ESTATE.

Unethical home-care providers/Advanced Directive - PoA's Agents whom are also the Healthcare proxy agent (akin to default Guardian) , Guardians/Conservators and unethical Elder Law Attorneys can get anyone banned from visiting their elder friend or family member at their facilities. 

These matters were federal, SSA & CMS violations before Covid era. Now in Covid era this health emergency is being used to help predatory person, professionals and health care institutions have greater power to rationalize isolation which increases organized elder exploitation schemes and fraudulent concealment of negligence and abuse.

USA Today: 

Seniors are becoming COVID-19 collateral damage. They're dying because of it, not of it.

V. PREDATORY FINANCIAL SERVICES PROFESSIONALS: ALL PHASES & THE FINAL TRANSFER: FINANCIAL ADVISERS CAN BE PRESENT AT ALL PHASES EVEN PRIOR TO ELDER (or anyone) HAS PHYSICAL OR COGNITIVE HEALTH PROBLEMS. PREDATORY FINANCIAL MANAGERS WILL OFTEN ASSIST WITH OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN ORGANIZED ELDER EXPLOITATION CASES EVEN AFTER THE EXPLOITED ELDER HAS PASSED AND THE EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE WRAPS OF THE MATTERS IN THE FINAL  PROBATE TRANSFERS.

ALL PHASES/ON-GOING; PREDATORY FINANCIAL SERVICES, ADVISERS PROFESSIONALS & BANKS.

Organized elder exploitation and silver-collar document crimes continue before, during and after the  final probate transfers upon the elders passing. Postmortem transfers includes executing estate closing schemes to aid in the concealment of prior and ongoing illicit estate transfers.

Financial exploitation consists of predatory family/seniors friends, PoAs Guardian and/or Conservator with or with out legal professional assistance using elements of the Fraud Triangle.

Scenario's include using insidious methods like  intentionally orchestrated family conflict as a means to justify to the financial service provider the rationalization behind assets transfer to themselves, or other family for allowing a hefty "service fee" for  transferring/altering the elders assets. This includes altered beneficiary designations on life insurance, annuity policies, stock portfolios and can continue to final wrap-up concealment of the vulnerable person's estate In the end the elders assets are completely pilfered through illicit transfers, theft, fraud, gifting, Medicaid/Medicare, taxes and other creditor debts,  payback to and all the  “in-network” Professional fees that go along with intentional conflict driven estate planning.

Estate Ruling Documents or Probate Papers: Key Factors & Fraud Circumstances Characterized by Undue Influence and  Silver Collar Crimes. 

"Silver Collar Crimes" are financially motivated crimes intentionally perpetrated against elder persons with diminished cognition, using the court system or legal documents. Silver Collar Crimes are a subsection of elder exploitation and include court-adjudicated guardianships, official land records, powers of attorney, wills, and trusts." - Anthony Palmieri, JD, CFE, CIG, CIGI, CIGA, CGI, CIA, CCSA

“Trusted persons become trust violators when they conceive of themselves as having a financial problem which is non-shareable, are aware this problem can be secretly resolved by violation of the position of financial trust, and are able to apply to their own conduct in that situation verbalizations which enable them to adjust their conceptions of themselves as trusted persons with their conceptions of themselves as users of the entrusted funds or property.” 1

FIGURE 5: D.E.F.A.L.C.A.T.I.O.N PROCESS. This vulnerable person exploitation methodology combines elements of previous models but also involves one or more professionals working in collusion with the primary predator. The Collusion/Chicanery step also pertains to "Conflicts-of-Interest". This model defines the organized exploitation over time among multiple persons in roles of trust controlling the vulnerable person and embezzling their assets through coordinated schemes and functioning as a criminal enterprise.

An example of predatory professionals working in-concert to exploit vulnerable persons was defined in an infamous Clark County, Nevada case precedent as Racketeering. Large for profit Guardianship/Conservator companies and estate planning firms repeatedly exploiting their own elderly clients through document crimes & closely aligned third parties in Probate Courts could fit the definition of a criminal enterprise, if the cases were able to tried by a truly independent judge or jury.

EXAMPLE: “Defendants APRIL PARKS, MARK SIMMONS, and GARY NEAL TAYLOR, did on or between December 21, 2011 and July 6, 2016, then and there, within Clark County, Nevada, knowingly, willfully and feloniously, while employed by or associated with an enterprise, conduct or participate either directly or indirectly, in racketeering activity through the affairs of said enterprise, and/or in the affairs of the enterprise through racketeering activity, did engage in said acts, to wit: by Defendants working for A Private Professional Guardian, LLC using their position to steal funds belonging to elderly and disabled persons over whom they had guardianship authority, through the use of a series of fraudulent billing practices, said activity constituting Racketeering contrary to NRS 207.400 (1)(c)(2).
