My mother-in-law thought the world's richest man needed Apple gift cards. How on Earth could she fall for this scam?
We just found out that my 75-year-old mother-in-law is a victim of an online scammer. Her cognition is clearly impaired. She has several health problems. We are getting power of attorney and access to her bank accounts. She is definitely lonely. That, I believe, is the root cause. But that's not an excuse to believe that the world's richest man needs you to send him Apple AAPL gift cards. Her siblings are all shocked that she would believe this. How could this happen? Her only income is Social Security and a small pension. Her only asset is her home. It's paid off. My husband had a brief meeting with a lawyer who offered to transfer the deed to my husband to avoid the five-year look-back rule etc. (His mother agreed to it.) My mother-in-law currently gets a large senior tax break on her property taxes of $4,000 a year, which will go away if we transfer the deed. Should we put the house in a trust? What happens to the proceeds when sold? Israel-Iran clash delivers a fresh shock to investors. History suggests this is the move to make. 'I'm 68 and my 401(k) has dwindled to $82,000': My husband committed financial infidelity and has $50,000 in credit-card debt. What now? I'm in my 80s and have 2 kids. How do I choose between them to be my executor? Here's why stocks, bitcoin and gold are racing to record highs at the same time. It hasn't happened in over 10 years. Walmart's stock looks like it's in trouble. What the chart says may come next. Daughter-in-Law Related: I'm 57 and ready to retire next year on $7,500 a month, but my wife says no. Who's right? You have answered your first question. Loneliness and impaired cognition is a potent combination for scammers and fraudsters. Your mother-in-law wants to believe there's another person out there in the ether who takes an interest in her, and 'sees' her literally and figuratively, but her ability to process what is real and what is fake may also be impaired. The smartest people can fall victim to scams at a vulnerable moment and suspend their disbelief, as if watching a play, until it's too late. There have been cases recently where older people were scammed of six figures by thieves using AI and/or pretending to be famous people. In January, a French woman said she was conned out of €830,000 (approximately $868,000) by someone pretending to be the actor Brad Pitt. She received even more online abuse from people mocking her. She told reporters: 'I came forward because I am not the only one.' While your husband's power-of-attorney document will expire after your mother-in-law's death, estate plans often include what's called a 'durable' power of attorney. This permits the trusted individual (in this case, your husband) to retain power of attorney if and/or when your mother-in-law can no longer make decisions for herself. A conservatorship is an involuntary process and takes place when a person is unable to take care of their finances. Each state has its own rules for guardianships and conservatorships. To apply to be a conservator, your husband would need to file a petition with the probate court in the county where your mother-in-law lives and detail all the responsibilities, powers and duties he intends to take on for her. He would also need to submit a plan for her care. That does not, from what you say, appear to be required in this case. Your mother-in-law or her POA should also freeze her credit with all three major credit bureaus — Experian EXPGF, TransUnion TRU and Equifax EFX EFX — so no one can take out loans or open accounts in her name. People 60 and older are five times as likely as younger consumers to report losing money to tech-related scams, according to the Federal Trade Commission. Phone scams are the No. 1 scam affecting older people, followed by computer-related fraud. You should consult an attorney who specializes in elder law. A person's home is generally exempt as long as it is a principal residence and your equity doesn't exceed a certain amount. Other exemptions, depending on where you live, include one automobile as long as it's used to get to and from work, used to obtain medical treatment or is essential because you have a disability. Personal property used as investments — such as artwork — may not be exempt. The laws on property also vary, depending on where she lives. Several states, including Florida, New York and California, have rules that exempt a primary residence from assets calculated by Medicaid under certain circumstances. In many states, your mother-in-law or her spouse (if he were alive) would need to live in the home or have plans to return to it (if it's empty) if you wish the property to remain exempt from Medicaid. While one's primary home is generally not counted toward Medicaid's asset limit, it is not exempt from Medicaid's Estate Recovery Program, the American Council on Aging says. Your state Medicaid agency may attempt reimbursement of care costs through whatever estate of the deceased remains, and that includes the home. Furthermore, if your mother-in-law signs over her home to your husband, he will lose his step-up in-basis tax advantage. As you suggest, some people plan ahead by establishing an irrevocable trust before the five-year look-back rule. By transferring your assets into an irrevocable trust, you no longer own them and, therefore, they are exempt from Medicaid. 'They also protect assets for one's children and other relatives, which is a win-win for Medicaid applicants and their families,' says the American Council on Aging. A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (or irrevocable income-only trust) can protect the assets of a person who wishes to apply for Medicaid, as long as this is done before the look-back period. You can include stocks and bonds, bank accounts and CDs, and secondary properties. With a MAPT, you are giving up control of these assets. Medicaid can challenge the trust, and the challenge can be complex and expensive. It will be an easier path ahead if your mother-in-law is open to help.

I outran ICE. Now I'm back on the streets looking for illegal work
When a black Jeep rolled into the Home Depot car park just after 8.30am on Friday morning, Abraham sprung into action. As Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents dressed in vests and helmets climbed out of their blacked-out vehicle, he did his best to warn his fellow illegal migrants camped outside the hardware store in search of work. 'La migra! La migra!' he screamed, before sprinting away from the scene. Dozens of people tried to follow him. 'I felt very scared when I saw them coming but I ran like a flash and they didn't get me,' he says. Like the 100 or so men who gather daily outside the DIY shop in Westlake, Los Angeles, that morning Abraham had been hoping to pick up a day's work from customers in need of help for their home improvements. Most of those he was standing with are undocumented. Nicaragua-born Abraham managed to escape but not everyone was so lucky. At least 40 men, some of whom had lived in the US for decades, were handcuffed and detained by ICE agents who had raided a string of workplaces and Home Depot locations that morning, sparking a wave of volatile protests which have gripped Los Angeles and spread to more than 35 other cities. Despite the pervasive threat of deportation, Abraham was back at the Home Depot parking lot on Wednesday morning to resume his search for work. The targeting of day labourers in Home Depots, workers at car washes and clothing manufacturers marks a gear change in the administration's attempts to ramp up its deportation efforts in order to fulfil Donald Trump's 'largest deportation program' in US history. While officials had initially focused their efforts on those with criminal records, Stephen Miller, the architect of Mr Trump's hardline immigration policy, instructed ICE field officers to begin widening their nets. Mr Miller has set a target of 'at least' 3,000 arrests a day, a steep jump from the roughly 660 daily arrests during Mr Trump's first 100 days in office. He is understood to have directed ICE chiefs to start targeting spots where migrants congregate, specifically naming Home Depot. It is a move that has drawn fierce opposition from not only Mr Trump's political opponents such as Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor, but also from some of the Republican leader's supporters, with Florida State Senator Ileana Garcia, the co-founder of Latinas for Trump, saying the move was 'not what we voted for'. While demonstrations have brought parts of the state to a standstill, the ICE raids have continued at pace, with uniformed officers chasing farmworkers through fields and turning up at churches to arrest migrants. While the majority of migrants have stayed home amid the ongoing threat, Abraham, a father-of-two, who crossed the El Paso border with Ciudad Juarez three years ago, says he has no choice but to take the risk and continue his search for work at Home Depot. 'I'm not afraid to come... I have to work because if I don't work I can't eat,' he tells The Telegraph as he cools himself from the California sun with a pink plastic portable fan. Obdulio, another undocumented worker who managed to flee the Home Depot raid on Friday, had also returned on Wednesday despite seeing at least a dozen people 'grabbed' by ICE agents. The Guatemalan, who has lived in the US for 20 years, was frustrated he could not do anything to help his friends. 'You can't confront them because they're going to take you away, so what we did was shout at people to run and we kept running,' he says. Obdulio, 48, who did not want to give his last name, told The Telegraph: 'We are still in fear because we've heard ICE is still roaming here.' 'We're not criminals, we come to work honestly without harming anyone,' he adds. Standing on the other side of the Westlake Home Depot car park, Edwin Cuadra, who is from Guatemala and has a green card, recounted how he saw ICE agents arriving on Friday morning in his car's wing mirror. 'Those who don't have papers had to escape, they started running,' he says. The number of people out looking for work has since dwindled, he says, because migrants are terrified they will be caught. 'It's very bad,' he adds, becoming tearful. 'They are my brothers, like my family. They need the money to pay rent, to pay bills.' On the sixth day of demonstrations in Los Angeles, a largely peaceful protest of around 1,000 protesters briefly became chaotic when police on horseback charged at protesters and hit them with wooden rods before the area's 8pm curfew came into effect. Officers fired rubber bullets and pepper balls into the crowd before carrying out dozens of arrests and packing protesters into police vans, but the streets downtown were mostly quiet by 9pm. In recent days demonstrations across the city at times became violent, with some agitators setting fire to cars and throwing Molotov cocktails, fireworks and rocks at police. Some of the thousands of National Guard troops controversially deployed by Mr Trump despite governor Gavin Newsom insisting they were not needed have been assisting ICE officers as they round up illegal migrants on raids, standing by with their rifles as agents arrest and detain people. The 700 Marines sent into Los Angeles by Mr Trump will also accompany ICE agents on missions, officials have said, sparking fears that the administration could further intensify the pace of its raids. Mr Newsom has warned the unprecedented militarisation of the state would spread further. 'Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,' he said on Tuesday. 'California may be first, but it clearly won't end here.' The Department of Homeland Security released an Uncle Sam style poster on social media on Wednesday urging members of the public to report 'foreign invaders'. As ICE raids continued in spite of the protests, on Monday morning a Home Depot in Huntington Park, around eight miles away from the Westlake branch, was targeted. Eduardo Baz, 45, who illegally crossed into the US from Honduras 20 years ago, was lucky to have escaped. He had been a safe distance away when he saw federal agents starting to detain migrants in the car park at around 7.30am. The only saving grace, he says, was that it was early so not many people had arrived at the shop. On Wednesday morning he was one of a handful of migrants who had returned to the car park hoping to pick up work. 'Of course we're all afraid,' he says. 'All these years later, they can send you home in one swoop.' 'You're never calm, you're always afraid they might catch you at any moment.'

OPD continues Police in the Parks
Moreland Park was teeming with Owensboro Police Department officers on Thursday. But this gathering of law enforcement was an intentional meet and greet with the public that OPD calls 'Police in the Park' — a summer community outreach program. Sgt. Joseph Jones said OPD began hosting it about two years ago as a community event. Jones added that officers are there not only to answer questions, but also to play games or activities with those who show up. '…Do little things, have fun at the parks and an opportunity, again, to see officers in a different light than what they usually do,' he said. Throughout the summer, OPD plans to host at least four 'Police in the Park' events. Jones said the one at Moreland Park was the first for this summer. '…We just choose a random park in the city, try to head out there (to) make hot dogs, bring chips, lemonade…,' he said. Along with the food and games, OPD brought some of its vehicles, such as a restored 1956 Ford police car and current cruisers now utilized by patrol officers. '…It's an opportunity to bring out some things, let them see stuff that we use in our daily work,' Jones said. OPD also invited other local agencies such as the Center of Owensboro-Daviess County, a nonprofit that helps people connect to resources based on their need. Erica Wade, the Center's executive director, was there with the organization's new mobile unit. Wade said the idea is to bring 'community partners' such as Imagination Library to sites like Moreland Park. '…The mobile unit is like a pop-up resource fair,' Wade said. 'So we can bring as many as six community partners with us; we have four 10 by 10 tents that come with it; two private rooms, a waiting area on board and a wifi umbrella. This is our first one, so we kind of went light on this one, so we could see what it was all about. Next time we're hoping to bring some more folks with us.' Although more children were there Thursday, Jones said the Police in the Park events are meant for all ages. 'We had one time at the park that we had more adults come out than kids,' he said. Ultimately, Jones said it's about OPD's effort to bridge the gap between it and the community. '…Most people, their experience with the police is they see them making traffic stops or answering calls for service,' Jones said. 'We want them to see that they can come up to us and talk to us like anybody else … build that rapport, so if there's something going on they can pass that information along. It helps us gather information and helps us solves any crimes that are going on in our community.'
