What Is Financial Elder Abuse?

Elder financial abuse can take many different forms. Some common examples include:

  • Forging documents
  • Unauthorized use of credit cards
  • Asset theft or misappropriation
  • Coercion or undue influence
  • Identity theft

For example, a caretaker might coerce an elderly individual into updating their will so that the caretaker receives all their assets. Similarly, a neighbor who starts out by helping the victim pay their bills could end up taking and using the victim’s money for their own personal gain.

Be on the lookout for anything suspicious, such as large withdrawals with no explanation, emotional withdrawal, or sudden changes to estate planning documents. If you suspect something not right is happening, contact an experienced lawyer right away.
