Financial Conservators Prey on Elderly

Audio currently not available for this program.

When an elderly person in California can no longer take care of his or her personal finances and hasn't designated anyone to do it, a court can appoint a conservator to do the job. This week the Los Angeles Times is running a series of reports describing how some for-profit conservators are conning the elderly out of money with little or no oversight by the state. Guest: Evelyn Larrubia, Los Angeles Times reporter.
