What Is Financial Elder Abuse and How Can I Spot It?

Financial elder abuse in California occurs when someone in a position of power or influence takes an elderly adult’s real or personal property without their authorization or consent. People close to the victim are often the ones who commit these devastating acts. Some people who might be abusers in these cases include:

  • Family members
  • Neighbors
  • Doctors or healthcare workers
  • Bank employees
  • Clergy

Financial elder abuse can happen in a variety of ways, from taking cash or other assets to coercing an elderly adult into changing their estate planning documents. If you suspect your loved one may be the victim of this type of behavior, some signs you can watch for are:

  • Bills that are suddenly going unpaid
  • Unexplained withdrawals from bank accounts
  • Emotional symptoms, such as fear or withdrawal
  • Last minute trips with new companions

Staying alert and acting quickly can help you catch this type of behavior before additional damage is done.
