Peter B. Langbord Successfully Defends Real Estate Investor from Financial Elder Abuse Claim

On July 25, 2024 Judge Rebekah Evenson of the Alameda County Superior Court issued her final statement of decision finding Langbord’s client did not commit financial elder abuse against an 86 year old plaintiff when it acquired in 2020 residential real property in Oakland from one of plaintiff’s lenders who had previously foreclosed on a loan made to plaintiff.

After a 19 day bench trial that initially began in June 2023, paused, and then reconvened in January 2024 and concluded in February, 2024, the Court found that Langbord’s client did not know that plaintiff was challenging the prior foreclosure and title to the property when the client acquired the property from plaintiff’s former lender.

Langbord was assigned defend the real estate investor in late 2023 and after the Court had heard 10 days of testimony in June, 2023.

Partner Margaret Johnson assisted Langbord in defending the case.
