Jeffrey R. Gottlieb, the principal attorney of the Law Offices of Jeffrey R. Gottlieb, LLC in Palatine, is the author of "A New Weapon Against Elder Abuse: Presumptively Void Transfers to Caregivers," an article which appears in the January 2015 issue of the "Illinois Bar Journal," the monthly magazine of the Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA).

In the article, the author reviews a new section of the Illinois Probate Act (entitled "Presumptively Void Transfers") applicable to documents executed on or after January 1, 2015, which aims to target unrelated caregivers who take advantage of their positions to convince an elderly or disabled person to change their estate plan to the caregiver's benefit.

The 33,000-member ISBA (isba.org), with offices in Springfield and Chicago, provides professional services to Illinois lawyers, and education and services to the public through a website (illinoislawyerfinder.com), consumer brochures, and distribution of legal information.
