Pyke and Associates, P.C. operates from 7557 Rambler Road, Suite 850 in Dallas and 5 Cowboys Way, Suite 300 in Frisco, providing specialized elder law services throughout Texas. Their attorneys focus on stopping elder abuse through civil remedies when criminal convictions prove difficult to obtain. The firm addresses three common forms of financial exploitation: convincing elderly individuals to sign fraudulent legal instruments, misuse of power of attorney authority, and unauthorized access to financial accounts. While government prosecutors and Adult Protective Services often provide limited recourse, Pyke and Associates help concerned families retain private attorneys to pursue effective civil solutions. In cases involving questionable wills or deeds with immediate effect, the firm assists with legal challenges, often through guardianship appointments that authorize lawsuits on behalf of elderly victims. When family members suspect exploitation, a Guardian of the Estate can be appointed to pursue legal action against abusers. This approach proves especially valuable when the elderly person lacks mental capacity to remedy situations they unintentionally permitted. Contact their Dallas office at 214-866-0133 or Frisco location at 972-499-4530.

They caution that individuals with power of attorney have fiduciary responsibilities to act in the elderly person’s best interests, while situations without power of attorney require court-appointed guardianships. The practice addresses three primary concern areas: client wishes and health, family dynamics, and financial assets/income. Their services ensure essential documents are current according to state laws, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives with health care proxies. The attorneys also help navigate Medicaid and VA benefits regulations while addressing other elder issues ranging from long-term care insurance to capital gains taxes.
