[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing people are missing is this is clearly elder abuse. The older parents own the home. Not that son in the news. He is not a neighbor, homeowner or anything. He is just a mooch who is somehow tore apart that home into a ugly mess and left his parents with a ton of legal issues, unwanted publicity, angry neighbors and for now a unsellable house.

The ownership has switched back and forth between son and parents several times. Unclear why, but I certainly wouldn’t say this situation is indicative of elder abuse.[/quote]

So would you go to your MIL or FIL and ask for house to be put in your name for free?[/quote]
Have you heard of inheritance? In any case, maybe they wanted to switch off who had tax liability.

Anything about elder abuse is pure speculation.[/quote]

Pure fact the owners of house are parents. Not son.  [/quote]

They seem to have mixed finances, which isn't surprising given they're a single household. I'm not sure what point you're getting at. It certainly isn't indicative of elder abuse or fraud.[/quote]

Sometimes elderly people don’t understand decisions that an adult child is making for them. If an elderly person owns a house and their adult children come in and start making changes that are not necessarily in the best interest of the elderly owner, that could be seen as elder abuse, especially if there is any evidence of cognitive decline on the part of the owner.

It really depends a lot on the ages of the elderly people involved and how much cognitive decline they are experiencing, among other factors. [/quote]

The reality is, this is the sort of change that seems to help the elderly parents more than Mike. It addresses the immediate needs of the family, including housing and caregiving for the elderly parents, at the cost of an addition that may provide a lower return in the future when the next owner goes to sell.

Elder abuse isn't a credible claim here.[/quote]

Weren’t the elderly parents already living in the home? I assume they already had a bedroom. So they didn’t have a need for housing, since they were already living in a home they owned and they already had Mike and his family living with them.
The elderly people are not really in need of more space, but it seems that adding more space might make it nicer for the adult kids and grandkids.

It really depends on how much the elderly owners understand about what is happening to their property. How old are they?

You don't really believe this is a case of elder abuse, just like the other poster doesn't really believe it would have been impossible to build something narrower. There are so many disingenuous trolls that are part of this discussion.[/quote]

So you’re avoiding answering questions about the ages of the owners of the property. [/quote]
