Elder Financial Exploitation

About Elder Financial Exploitation

Elder financial exploitation occurs when someone wrongfully takes an older person's money or property through theft, fraud, or the misuse of a power of attorney. It is often carried out by a trusted person, which makes it especially painful. Warning signs may include sudden changes to a will or account, unexplained withdrawals, or an elder who seems anxious about money. California's Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act specifically addresses financial abuse of elders and dependent adults, and families may be able to seek recovery of lost funds or property. You can share a few details and connect with a California attorney.
