This book shows conservatorships for The Con Game that it so often becomes.' - Linda Kincaid, MPH, Coalition for Elder & Dependent Adult Rights

I love the title. That's enough to have me buying it.
I'm so pleased to see another book out there and this one appears to be about the problem of elder abuse illustrated by a bad conservatorship. Sounds like it's going to be good!
THANKS NASGA
Is the conservatorship case one we are familiar with already?
I'll definitely check it out!
There can't be too many books on guardianship and conservatorship and I welcome another. I hope it does well.
I'm ordering it on Amazon shortly and looking forward to reading it!
Good reviews and some from people I know, like Linda Kincaid!
Good news. Financial exploitation of the elderly is knocking at our doors. We need eyes wide open for those who have intent and motive to gain doing whatever it takes to get what they want.
I ordered this book and could not put it down. It is for every generation. At some point in our lives this book will be of help to us all. Ms. Laham has opened the dialog for Guardian and Elder Abuse. I highly recommend this book.
