Connecticut Fiduciary Violation and Elderly Issue Attorneys
Hartford CT Lawyers specializing in Fiduciary Violations and Elderly Issues
Spinella & Associates practice in cases where persons involved in the probate system have been treated unfairly. Citizens involved in the probate process frequently need a strong legal advocate to see to it that their rights are not abused by the process itself; that those having a fiduciary duty to them uphold such fiduciary duty; that investment of any money done on their behalf be done prudently; that wills have been executed and are administered properly; that the rights of the elderly, disabled, and infirm be upheld in all instances.
A prime example of the commitment of Spinella & Associates to CT Elderly Issues is the representation of the heir who was unjustly conserved, against his wishes (see Firm Cases). For several years, Spinella & Associates have fought a powerful bank and a large law firm to protect his rights to have control over his own family monies.
Examples of CT Elderly Rights Areas
Examples of areas where Spinella & Associates have acted to protect rights of elderly, handicapped or infirm persons are as follows:
- will contests and challenges to conservatorships of the person and estate
- involuntary commitments
- imprudent investments by conservators of the estate and other breaches of fiduciary duty
- rights of the elderly and infirm
- preservation of assets
- violations of civil rights of elderly, handicapped or conserved persons
- nursing home abuses
In regard to the area of Title XIX issues and estate planning for the elderly, Spinella & Associates work with an outside attorney who is also a C.P.A., and who specializes in such issues (go to Practice Area: Miscellaneous/Of Counsel).
