Overview
- Pamela Urvoy, 55, was convicted at Preston Crown Court of two counts of fraud by false representation and received a four-year sentence.
- Investigators traced a £203,502.17 transfer in October 2013 from Michael Urvoy’s account to solicitors for a Blackburn house registered solely in her name.
- The uncle, left unable to live independently after a 2008 stroke, moved into Urvoy’s Padiham home before being relegated to a sparsely furnished basement that triggered a 2017 safeguarding referral.
- Land Registry checks and bank records undercut claims of shared ownership, with the victim’s account repeatedly overdrawn despite modest monthly income.
- The victim died aged 84 in March 2024 before the case concluded, and police built the prosecution on financial records and social services evidence.
