| Tell us a little about yourself or your loved one: | |
| Q1: What was your situation when you or your loved one first started experiencing elder abuse, neglect, and/or fraud? (What was your/their living situation like, were you/they struggling with any health issues, etc.?) | My father passed away in 2008. He was married at the time to Pat Levandoski his wife). My father's will was the only standing will. Pat apparently started getting ill in 2022 and worsened in 2023. My father's life long neighbors and friends became concerned with Pat. Apparently, one particular neighbor became very interested in Pat. Stephanie Langeland. She apparently talked 3 other neighbors into "doing what's best for Pat" and they all needed to agree to get Pat help and Stephanie would handle everything. So, Jim and Lori (my father's lifelong friends and neighbors) thought they were doing the right by helping Pat. Stephanie had her Attorney Adam Sheridan draw up a trust, POA and much more that handed EVERYTHING Over to Stephanie. My father's house, finances and property. They sat on Pat's porch to get the documents signed. Lori, had to keep repeating and explaining to Pat what she was signing. She was apparently clueless. Literally a month later after signing over everything Pat was committed to a home. She was diagnosed immediately with late on set Alzheimers, dementia and schizophrenia. How could she be coherent to sign anything. Then Stephanie sold the house to her company name. I hired an atty paid $7000 for him to do not take this seriously and all he was stuck on was the fact an Atty was present when she signed the documents, and why would he jeopardize his career? Because he was a friend of Stephanie's and he thought no one would contest. Stephanie told the other neighbors if my brother or I ever tried to contact them to LET HER KNOW ASAP. She never once tried to find any heirs whether on Pat's side or my father's. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR. Stephanie saw a quick and easy money grab. I want my father's legacy back that he worked so hard for with his bare hands. I have been fighting this for a year now. Pat has just passed away on 02/23/26, and I feel my time is running out to try and save anything from my father. |
| Q2: What would you like to share about your story? | Don't give up, till the end. I'm not. |
| Q3: What do you wish people knew about elder abuse, neglect, and fraud? | People that claim to care DO NOT. There should be law a that make it mandatory to look for heirs in Michigan. This woman is NOT a guardian she's a PREDATOR. |
| Q4: What are your hopes for the future? | To get back my father's home and they honor my fathers will that he created. |
