Brooke, I Want You To Have This House

Please send us a note leaving contact details if you have been affected by elder financial abuse.Bert tells Brooke he wants her to have Poplar Hill, the family home her mother left her, and offers a deal: remove his name from the deed if Brooke does the same with their joint banking account. Brooke can hear Mark's voice in every twist of the conversation. Then Mark and Donna attempt to access Bert's bank accounts directly, prompting urgent calls from the bank manager. The family hires a new lawyer. The professionals all see what's happening; legally, they're powerless to stop it. Featured experts: geriatrician Dr. Josh Budlovski on how a multidisciplinary team gathers around a vulnerable patient in a hospital, and Nathan Spaling on what happens to that protective network the moment the patient is discharged and walks into a bank or a law office.Beware Mysterious Mark is a Radio Sidney production.
