Elder Financial Abuse

Elder Financial Abuse Law:

Elder financial abuse is the act of stealing or embezzling money or any other property that belongs to an elder. Elder financial abuse may vary from stealing money from a wallet all the way to coercing an elder to turn over property. This form of abuse can be devastating since it may take away from an elder's life savings, leaving him/her. Financial elder abuse is commonly in the form of telemarketing fraud, identity theft, home improvement and estate planning scams.
