Financial Elder Abuse
|
 |
Older persons are especially vulnerable to certain kinds of undue influence
and abuse at the hands of family members. Tragically, some despicable
individuals take economic advantage of older friends and relatives who are
in compromised physical, emotional or mental positions.
Elderly financial abuse can take on many forms, including stealing assets,
convincing a senior to place your name on their accounts, forging signatures
to obtain new lines of credit and loans, and fraudulently using existing credit
cards.
In these times of financial uncertainty and ever-changing laws, statutes and
regulations, litigation over Financial Elder Abuse is becoming more and more
common. Such litigation is extremely stressful and costly to everyone
involved. Many such disputes arise from a family member taking advantage
of their elderly parent for financial gain, and the parent's apprehension to
pursue protection for fear of retaliation from such family member. In addition
to family members, there are other perpetrators of financial elder abuse
which include: |
|
- Caregivers
- Neighbors
- Friends and Acquaintances
- Attorneys
|
- Accountants
- Health care providers
- Banks
- Other financial institutions
