A Central Florida attorney was arrested last week and charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing more than $1.7 million from the living trust account of a deceased Polk County man, the county’s Sheriff’s Office reported.

Jason Penrod, 47, the owner of Family Elder Law P.A. in Lake Worth, was arrested Sept. 4 by Marion County deputies on a warrant issued by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, whose investigation showed that he allegedly stole funds from other clients as well.

The arrest comes on the heels of an investigation into Penrod’s activities by the Florida State Bar. In addition, Sherry Prevoznik and Charles Anderson, the adult children of the late David D. Anderson, sued Penrod on Aug. 21 in the 10th Judicial Circuit Court. Anderson`s living trust was executed by Penrod in 2014, according to the lawsuit.
