Back in the late seventies you could track a property of your interest by paying the L.A. County a very small fee. Any activity, permit, change of ownership, mortgage would prompt a postcard to you, indicating property activity.

Is this still done? I am not able to locate anything on this service, and have to monitor a clear title family property from out of the country.
Thanks;
will deal with real estate companies or local notaries, if appropriate.

Call a title company in the county where the property is located. There is still a tax service/mortgage service tracking.

Default Not exactly; it's long distance management

We (the brothers and I) are all out of the country.
We just found out that in one of the changes to trusteeship om 2008 we went from two signatures to one guy we don't know that controls everything. We think he dipped into the cash funds a few years ago, and the flags are not good. He's registered HIMSELF as a charity and has no Board of Directors. He also doesn't return our calls. His compound has a German Shepherd and this guy has zero connections on LinkdIn!

It's more complicated than that. One of us is down in L.A. now dealing with the medical, insurance, dementia, and other issues. What we do want to do is verify that what is left will take care of the remaining parent. I think the cash is gone.

This occurred AFTER some pretty good advice, estate planning, and removal of another person whose ideas were a little out there. We have some cub scout friends in the hood that have spouses that are Sheriff employees and Calif. Senior Abuse staff. What they're telling us is not good. By the time you prove and/or find the money this guys in Belize with new girlfriends, claiming it was all a donation.

It is then up to you to prove him wrong, bring him back, and by that time we'll all be retired.
Just trying to cover mom. SS and the home is all she really needs, and she has an insured caregiver.
It's all good.

Your Calif. Senior Abuse staff should be able to recommend good legal counsel.

FYI: This could take years to clear up with no guarantee of success.

We have covered our bases and the answers are not good.
According to a firm in S.F. that specializes in this, it's going on all over the place.
(interesting; never seems to be in the news)

What is even more interesting is that the local bank, who saw Dad for years pile up cash in their accounts,
wants $1,000. USA dollars for hard copies of the files going back ten years. Where I am I'd have that online
for free in sixty seconds.

At this point I'll be getting a full report when bro. gets home, but if anything I believe we want this guy flagged/audited.
At this point we're not even getting a tax deductible receipt and haven't found out how much is missing.

The entertainment value alone just astounds me. I know of two other cases like this where the trustee, a longtime family friend, just used it as his slush fund. In order the even find out what went on, you need the records, and since in this other case he's the accountant, he just ignores the court orders and probably will be dead of old age before the case is final!!

Nice yacht, though. That should have been a flag, and not a nautical one.

Default That is kind of what the scammers are counting on

Yes, in spite of, rather than because of, all the planning and understanding, that is
indeed what they count on: I'm of the considered opinion that it seems to be part
of the Master Plan. In order for billions to be stolen legally from citizens of the realm,
"members of structure" have to set it up so paltry million can be stolen by crooks.

After catching a few, like Martha S., it's then announced that somebody has been caught.
In the meantime, billions go out the back door.

No wonder nothing is done about it
Unfortunately, most of my lawyer bros. in Calif. have lived long enough to be disbarred.
damn.
