Yes, a lawyer can be charged with elder abuse, including financial exploitation or maltreatment, if they take part in the illegal taking, secreting, or defrauding of an older person’s money, property, or estate assets. [1, 2, 3]
Under the Arkansas Adult Maltreatment Act, financial exploitation or abuse of an endangered or impaired adult applies to any person who acts as a fiduciary or uses undue influence, deception, or coercion. If a lawyer crosses the line from providing professional legal services into actively manipulating, stealing from, or defrauding a client, they are subject to: [1, 2, 3]
- Criminal charges, which can range from a misdemeanor to a felony depending on the value of the misappropriated property or estate assets. [1]
- Civil lawsuits brought by the estate or beneficiaries to recover compensatory and punitive damages, or to void fraudulent deeds and wills. [1, 2]
- Professional disciplinary action, including the suspension or revocation of their law license by the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct. [1, 2]
If you suspect a lawyer is involved in exploiting an estate or an elderly individual in Arkansas, would you like information on how to file a report with the Adult Maltreatment Hotline or contact the Arkansas Office of Professional Conduct?
