Stolen Inheritance: When Family Betrayal Becomes a Financial Nightmare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798251912548)

Stolen Inheritance is a guide for people who discover a family member has misappropriated inherited assets, redirecting annuity payments, draining trusts, or misusing executor authority.

The book validates the emotional devastation of this experience (grief compounded by betrayal), dispels dangerous myths (like "I don't owe taxes on money I never received"), and explains why family members steal, desperation, entitlement, or grief-distorted judgment.

It outlines a practical recovery plan: document everything first, build a professional team (CPA + estate attorney + therapist), proactively address IRS liability through amended returns and penalty abatement, then confront the family member with facts and a written proposal rather than emotion.

The core message: family betrayal is a legal issue, not just a private matter, and staying silent protects the perpetrator, not you.
