Typical scenario "A woman is facing dozens of charges for allegedly embezzling up to $1.4 million from her elderly brother" says elder attorney Steven C. Peck.

The woman had been her brother's guardian since he suffered a stroke nearly 10 years ago.

The alleged elder abuse perpetrator was charged in court Wednesday. She faces 35 counts including embezzlement, fraud and elder abuse, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison for writing checks to people totally unrelated to the elder's care,spent some of the money on court costs for a man charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, home repairs, new appliances and other items from Home Depot. The abuser also spent money on two vehicles and even a race car shop. There is also $ 700,000.00 missing, which could turn out to be more.
