A lawyer who specializes in lawyer malpractice is the choice of lawyers otherwise a personal injury lawyer is also appropriate. The reason a lawyer who specializes in lawyer malpractice is preferred is that not all lawyers are willing to sue lawyers, but obviously a lawyer who sues lawyers will represent the abused elder or his representative against another lawyer. Sometimes the abused elder is not competent and the conservator or trustee must sue on behalf of the injured victim In . In Arizona there are treble damages and general damages available for damages for elder abuse. Many times the abuse is financial as well as physical abuse
The limitation period for lawyer negligence may be different than the, limitation period for elder abuse. Check with your lawyer about the limitation period. Elder abuse claims can survive the death of the victim. In the usual tort case the pain and suffering does not survive the death of the victim, but in elder abuse cases in Arizona pain and suffering can be awarded posthumously.

Does a POA enrich himself by cashing in cd's with other benficiaries on them prior to the death of the person who gave him power of attorney?
An attorney-in-fact owes a fiduciary duty to the principal. Part of that duty is that the agent not engage in self-dealing in undertaking an action or exercising any other power. The potential for POA abuse exists in any arrangement. If an agent has abused their authority there may be grounds to sue for the return of the embezzled property. If the principal is still living the principal can sue on their own behalf. If the principal has died the estate or beneficiaries can sue. A court can determine that the agent is responsible for any loss suffered by the principal or the principal's heirs. If you suspect or have evidence of that kind of behavior you should consult an attorney immediately. It may be part of a broader pattern of elder abuse.
