Siracusa’s Shenanigans

Targets the estates of San Francisco’s elderly.  Normally keeps it at $5 million and under.  Much easier to fly under the radar that way.
Isolates incapacitated elderly citizens from family members, condones the employment of undocumented caregivers, does not file mandated probate paperwork on a timely basis, shows total disregard for probate code, California laws and Rules of the Court.
Files frivolous petitions and motions generating thousands and thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Involves members of Siracusa and Company whenever possible.  Examples include appointment of the attorney for the conservatee and litigation attorney for the conservator to name a few.
Rewards newbies with new court cases.  Newbies include fiduciaries and conservators new to the probate scam and attorneys that bring him business.
Makes bogus claims and lies to prolong the case in an attempt to drain every dollar out of the estate.  Cases can last for years and years.
Places the conservatee in nursing homes and then petitions the court to sell the home of the person.
Files incomplete inventories and appraisals of personal property.
Deception and greed have destroyed families and ruined people’s lives.
Siracusa and Company controls over 40% of the probate business in San Francisco
Larry Siracusa makes his own rules.  Everything included in this post can be substantiated with documentation and is based on my personal experience.
Believe it or not, there are cases orchestrated by Mr. Siracusa that are even worse than mine.
This is not just a San Francisco problem.  There are Larry Siracusas in every probate courtroom across the United States.  A billion dollar industry that has become an epidemic!
Why is such blatant disregard for the law allowed to continue?  How can those appointed to protect us look the other way after witnessing the same story play out in the courtroom day after day?  The victims change but the script remains the same.
