The 57-year-old will have to pay $51,600.75 in restitution before sentencing as part of her plea deal.

Tramski, who was charged with three felony counts in February, was appointed in early 2018 as guardian for the victim, who died only weeks later.

Court documents say Tramski had the victim sign a will leaving everything to her about a week before the victim died.

Despite knowing there were legal challenges to the will, the 57-year-old took $86,033.75 from the victim’s account.

Court documents say the probate court invalidated the will benefit Tramski.

Tramski will be sentenced on Sept. 16th at 9:30 a.m. in 31st Circuit Court in St. Clair County.
