Austin Probate Lawyer

John and Jacqueline Motts were sentenced to 180 days in jail and lost their claim to a $400,000 inheritance after pleading guilty to exploitation of an elderly person.

After taking charge of his father’s finances, John Motts slipped into a pattern of lavish spending, emptying Clyde Motts’ bank account and failing to provide even enough money to cover nursing home bills, all the while hiding nearly $900,000 of Clyde’s estate in a mutual fund account.

Clyde Motts died in February. He was 99.
