William Shakespeare's observation that "What's past is prologue" is a ready reference when
we're thinking about the future.
We often see that what has happened until now sets the stage for what will happen in
the future.
When it comes to California trust, probate and estate litigation the past year – 2017
– is likely a preface to what will take place in 2018.
Hackard Law's 2017 efforts reflect a period of intense litigation focusing on the protection
of elders and/or their beneficiaries against estate and trust wrongdoers.
Our firm filed trust or elder financial abuse cases in the probate and civil courts of more
than twenty California counties.
Our team of lawyers continues to grow in order to handle the influx of cases arising from
the growing epidemic of elder financial abuse.
Our efforts are not centered on litigation alone; we've also worked to bring attention
to the plight of elders stung by abuse.
My book, The Wolf at the Door: Undue Influence and Elder Financial Abuse, helps to shine
a spotlight on a very significant national problem.
When we look back over the last year we can apply the truth in Oliver Wendell Holmes,
Jr.'s observation that "The Life of the law has not been logic.
It has been experience."
While attorney-client privilege and privacy issues prevent me from detailing the particularities
of recent litigation, I can briefly generalize the kinds of circumstances and events that
generate the need for judicial intervention.
The following factors often come into play: The Aftereffects of Addiction.
Drug and alcohol addiction create destruction in all areas of the life of the addicted and
his or her loved ones.
Such aftereffects in estate and trust litigation involve the use of undue influence by an addicted
son or daughter against a vulnerable parent that results in a transfer of assets to the
addicted child.
These transfers are often the focus of a challenge to late or deathbed amendments to wills or
trusts.
Backstabber Baloney.
This title may not be appropriate for law reviews, but it often fits the circumstances
of elder financial abuse.
Given that the abuse is visited upon vulnerable elders, an abuser takes advantage of the vulnerability
by bad-mouthing a sibling or siblings, isolating the elder for his or her protection, or convincing
the elder that the siblings frozen out by the abuser simply don't want to visit mom
or dad.
Cons, Caretakers and Cancer.
Elders can be conned and are often the particular targets of wrongdoers.
Crimes against seniors are reprehensible and are a concern for all families.
While caretakers can be a great blessing to a family in need, errant caretakers can be
a nightmare.
Caretaker oversight is critical to looking out for the financial and physical health
of seniors.
I mention cancer because we've litigated a number of cases where trusts were amended
either shortly before or during a decedent's placement into hospice care.
In cases like these, it's usually pretty obvious that undue influence was exerted,
as the lawful beneficiaries of estate plans were cut out in favor of the wrongdoer.
Hackard Law is looking forward to 2018.
We'll continue to focus on practice on estate, probate, trust and elder financial abuse disputes
in California's large urban areas, whether that's Los Angeles, Sacramento, Alameda,
Santa Clara, or Orange and Riverside.
We're dedicated to protecting client interests, and you can contact us today at 916-313-3030.
We'll be happy to see how we can best help you.
Thank you.

California law enforcement readies for new marijuana laws New video - Duration: 10:44.
California law enforcement readies for new marijuana laws New video
California law enforcement readies for new marijuana laws
San Francisco
licensed businesses around
California can begin legally growing and selling marijuana for recreational use Monday and a hodgepodge of enforcement
Agencies will be trying to make sure they adhere to a slew of new pot laws
Since no single agency has overarching
Responsibility supporters and opponents of legalization to worry how while the laws will be followed?
Three state agencies will issue a combined 19 types of permits to growers retailers manufacturers and distributors
Each agency has enforcement officers tasked with cracking down on unlicensed operators in addition
Other state agencies such as fish and wildlife and the narcotic enforcement
Bureau said they will rely on marijuana task force's already in place to continue eradicating illegal growers and sellers
the newly created State Bureau of cannabis Control
Which licenses retail outlets said it has hired several officers to help crack down on
unlicensed shops and plans to hire more in the coming months, but
much of the work of the resting illegal operators will still rely on sheriffs and police departments
We are a pretty small operation Bureau spokesman Alex Traverso said
He said about eight enforcement officers will be in place January 1st
though bureau chief Laurie a Jax said
Enforcement won't be a priority in the first months of the new year as the agency focuses on getting retailers licensed
The Bureau has issued fewer than 200 temporary business licenses so far
That's a fraction of what ultimately will be distributed once los angeles san francisco and other major local governments start issuing their own
licenses which are required to get a state permit a
small number of retail shops from Berkeley to San Diego say
They will open New Year's Day
while an increasing number of states have legalized marijuana and one form or another all uses of the drug remain illegal under federal law
US Attorney General jeff Sessions has said federal authorities still are contemplating how they will enforce pot laws in California
Assemblyman Tom Blackie has introduced legislation that would make the California Highway Patrol the point agency for enforcing state marijuana laws
Especially those seeking to stem the flow of weed out of state if we want to avoid intervention from the federal government
We need to do everything we can to crack down on illegal activity and prevent cannabis from being exported the Palmdale Republicans said
Without a central point the coordinating action statewide
Accomplishing this would be a huge challenge the bill will be considered when legislative sessions resumed in January
Ajax worked for 20 years in the state's alcoholic beverage control department before Governor Jerry Brown appointed her to run to cannabis Bureau
She said regulating marijuana is more complicated than policing alcohol because counties and cities have considerable authority over pot
State laws include that consumers be at least 21 that businesses not be within 600 feet
183 metres of schools and must close by 10:00 p.m.. They're also required to have 24-hour or video surveillance
counties and cities of similar requirements with a few twists
Oakland City officials citing disparate marijuana arrest records have given applicants convicted of pot related felonies preference in obtaining
permits in certain neighborhoods
Several counties and cities used existing medical marijuana laws to adopt recreational use rules by striking the word medical from the ordinances
keeping in place existing local tax rates
Marijuana businesses also will be required to pay state taxes some of the tax revenues earmarked for enforcement
But Sheraton several counties say they're already pouring resources into marijuana enforcement
Siskiyou County leaders recently declared a state of emergency and called on the governor to assist the sheriff with eradicating an influx of illegal farms
The county banned commercial cultivation, but that hasn't stopped the migration of marijuana farmers snapping up cheap land in remote Northern
California we are overwhelmed Sheriff John low P said
Mendocino County Sheriff Tom almond has similar concerns in a county that has legalized marijuana in the heart of the fabled pot-growing
region called the Emerald triangle
Please do not continue to say that marijuana is a totally harmless herb that God put on this earth
And we don't know why we're fighting over it he told County Supervisors who he said we're overlooking the criminal aspects of growing marijuana in
Los Angeles County sheriff's officials are preparing to see a possible increase in marijuana dispensary robberies and drivers who are high behind the wheel
Sheriff Jim McDonald said he believes legalization will be eye-opening for a lot of people the public's perception is that wait as innocuous?
That this is something they did 40 years ago, and it is no big deal. He said
Well today's marijuana is not yesterday's marijuana the active ingredient THC
Is so much higher today than back 40 years ago in?
Some cases the farmers are planting on government lands hidden deep in forests patrolled by state wildlife wardens
So-called guerrilla farms illegally set up on public property or remote private property without the owner's knowledge have troubled rural law
enforcement officials and federal authorities for years
California's Fish & Wildlife Department created a marijuana enforcement team three years ago to stem illegal Gardens in the state's forests
The agency also created a watershed enforcement teams to crackdown on marijuana
farmers who illegally differed streams used bent pesticides or otherwise harm the environment
Fish and Game captain Paul Foley said the department has no plans to change its enforcement strategy after
January 1st and will continue to concentrate on environmental crimes and illegal farms on public
lands an
estimated 1,000 illegal farms controlled by organized crime operate on public property in California
He said we're going to keep on keeping on with enforcement Foy said we stay busy

Why I Came to Arizona State University: ASU grads from California - Duration: 1:28.
I'm Gaelle Gralnek.
I grew up in Phoenix but I live in Pasadena, California.
My name is Kenneth Grambow.
I currently live in Oakland, California.
I graduated from WP Carey School of Business in 2003
with a management degree.
I graduated from undergrad
with a degree in accounting in 1986
and then I went to the law school here
and I graduated in 1989.
I work for Gap.
I'm a regional facilities manager
for the Pacific Northwest.
I'm a lawyer.
I work for the California State University system
doing litigations.
Coming from California, one great advantage
ASU has to offer is
you get the experience of being away from home,
but you're not so far away from home that
you can't visit for the weekend
or your parents can't visit for the weekend.
ASU prepared me for where I am today
with the education that I received.
It taught me how to
be a leader.
It gave me a lot of opportunities.
ASU really has something to offer everyone.
Whether you're interested in athletics
whether you're interested in the Greek system
Every resource was available to me at ASU.
So if I needed tutoring, there was a tutor center.
If I needed some guidance, there was guidance counselors.
There was just a great network to be a part of.
Whether you want to get involved in academic communities
there really is something for everyone
and I was able to look for a lot of different experiences
when I was there.
Go Devils!
