Elderly Check Theft | Allegations
Sometimes there are family members outside the home that don’t understand the relationship between the elderly person and the person who’s providing their care. Sometimes there could be an allegation that the person oversteps their bounds with regard to writing checks. Sometimes that’s the context, which is not so much a bad check situation but more of a theft situation or an allegation of theft. The home healthcare provider is accused of taking money from a bank account where, in reality, they’re simply helping to pay the bills by writing checks to third parties.

Elderly Check Theft | Misunderstandings
In my experience as a dedicated New Jersey check fraud lawyer, I find that many cases of check fraud do not have much merit. Oftentimes, the person who is bringing the charges is trying to use the court as a collection agency, which I have seen to be somewhat effective but perhaps misguided. It appears that a great number of these cases are not crimes at all.
In some cases, people would give a check to an individual for some product or service and due to either a misunderstanding or some other miscommunication, the check is not tendered on time, which leads to the check being returned. Other times, there is a simple misunderstanding between the person who wrote the check and the person who tried to cash it. As an experienced New Jersey check fraud lawyer, I’m starting to see an uptick in the amount of these types of cases, which I am happy to defend.
