Inheritance Heists: Reclaim Your Family's Legacy and Fight Back Against Financial Predators

By Michael Hackard

Book Overview

America's "Great Wealth Transfer" contains the promise of inheritance - over $50 trillion in assets for our children and grandchildren - but also hidden peril. Inheritance heists are a real threat to seniors and their families. As the Baby Boomer generation enters its twilight years, the opportunities for elder financial exploitation only grow. It's easy to overlook the danger that a lifetime of hard work, a family's entire legacy, can be hijacked by thieves who are close to the assets during transfer. Oftentimes the thief is a family member or caregiver.

In Inheritance Heists, veteran California attorney Michael Hackard shares his five decades of experience to pinpoint the red flags that heighten an estate's vulnerability to unlawful appropriation, from cognitive decline and stepparent dynamics to the rapidly evolving landscape of digital assets. Just as critically, Hackard provides the best safeguards and legal strategies to help you stop an inheritance heist before it's too late.
