Taking Advantage of the Elderly
As we age, we sometimes lose our ability to think clearly and to properly manage both our daily personal and financial affairs. And though we don’t like to consider the possibility, we could become susceptible and fall prey to those criminal-minded individuals looking to exploit and take advantage of our weakened conditions.
What is Elder Fraud?
Elder fraud and financial abuse can take place in many ways. It can occur through the fraudulent or illegal transfer of a person’s home or other real estate, the illicit re-titling or closing of their bank or investment accounts, or the improper or undue pressuring of them to make changes or amendments to their Trust, Will or other Estate Planning documents.
