George “Zeb” Patten, Jr. pleaded guilty this morning to stealing money from his now-deceased sister while he served as her executor as she battled dementia.

The 48-year-old man pleaded guilty this morning to three counts of theft over $10,000.

Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Rebecca Stern ordered the plea agreement in his case be followed.

Patten had faced more than 14 charges stemming from his time as executor from 2007 to 2009.

Terry Alice Patten, 57, died in May 2012, a year after criminal charges were filed.
