Fraud, Duress, Deception and Trickery -

From: Irwin N. Perr, MD , JD - Fraud involves trickery, deception, artifice.

An example of fraud is the situation where one influences a testator that another relative has stirred up trouble....statements.

Financial exploitation should be considered if the patient has suddenly transferred assets to a family member.

Isolation Means:

1. Acts of intentionally committed for the purpose of preventing and that do serve to prevent, an elder or dependent from receiving their mail or phone calls.

Elder Abuse = Death

Because older victims usually have fewer support systems and reserves—physical, psychological, and economic—the impact of abuse and neglect is magnified, and a single incident of mistreatment is more likely to trigger a downward spiral leading to loss of independence, a serious complicating illness, and even death.

Spiritual Quotes -

Exodus 20:12 Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long."

John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

1 Corinthians 13:12-13 "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

Romans 13:8 "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another."

Leviticus 19:32 "Rise in the presense of the aged, show respect for the elderly."

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17 "For the sake of respect, honor, veneration and indeed pride is said to be of ... superiors like the father and mother, and in cleanliness, simplicity, and nonviolence."

Other Notables Quotes

Robinson Jeffers "The heads of strong old age are beautiful beyond all grace of youth."

Pindar (522 BC - 443 BC) A graceful and honorable old age is the childhood of immortality.

Carol Matthau There is no old age. There is, as there always was, just you.

Booth Tarkington (1869 - 1946) "Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age."

Gloria Pitzer About the only thing that comes to us without effort is old age.

"Make wisdom your provision for the journey from youth to old age, for it is a more certain support than all other possessions."
